This is very sparse; could use a little more ornament and more melodic detail. It could probably use a bridge, as well. But I think I like it.

lyrics

I was sorting through the wreckage
 I was coming up so cheap
 from the last surviving message
 lost transmissions from the deep

  could have told what would happen
 could have told you what’s to come 
there’s no boundaries left for mapping
 when your country’s banged the drum

Always say you’re sorry 
cry, from time to time 
heart goes numb, these rules of thumb
 you’re learning how to lie

Have you got your act together? 
have you found your pilot’s guide?
We have called for nasty weather
 since the day your music died

And if you ever want to mention
 where you found your easy mark
 just remember no one needs your stale
 confessions in the dark

Always say you’re sorry
 cry, from time to time
 heart goes numb, these rules of thumb
 you’re learning how to lie
