Thrice is an American rock band that formed in Irvine, California in 1998. The lineup consists of Dustin Kensrue (vocals and guitar), Teppei Teranishi (guitar, keys), Eddie Breckenridge (bass), and Riley Breckenridge (drums).

Verse 1: Beat changes C# from slow to fast So strange i remember you FmCm in protest of a prayer C# and falling back from seas EbCm we fear to sail C# i swear i saw the shooter FmCm gold deep and double dare Bbm postmortem warnings G#C# seem inclined to fail
Verse 2: C# feigning an apology those words they Fm never left your lips those 5 years in Bermuda slide C# by like the lights of passing ships so strange that i remember you kneeling deep in Nietzsche’s lies C#m my throat was an open grave i drank your stained glass eyes
Chorus: G# and they taste like dead cathedrals Fm that are crumbling beneath a C# weight ten thousand jaded tourists who’ve traded in their hearts and hands for Fm disposable cameras C# set to document decay Eb set to capture just enough of life to catalogue the things we throw away
