lyrics

In every crumb of your delusion
Destructive shine that’s impossible to deny
The fake play with a lowered curtain
Evidence of the crime
You could feel a lie
I'm always in too deep in your eyes
It makes me scared
How did we end up with such lies
deep in the shade?

Difference baring
Up to war
Declaring
Growing

Drawing lines
Between you and me
Splitting into teams to compete
Carving up our lands
Different kinds
We're better on our own
Touching grids awkwardly, oh-oh
Stepping back in cells, releasing hands

Too big and old to fight it
Life is change and change decays
The game has simple rules:
Split into halves again
Put down your hands and pray
This never changes too much
Until we're gone
Who said we are born enemies?
Who said it's wrong?

Thinking, looking
For truth in eyes instead of news
Sadly, we are

Disregarding fate
Clutching to the thought that no way,
You weren't born for hate
You weren't born to feel what they say
Disregarding fate
Clutching to the thought that no way,
This world wasn't made for hate
You don’t have to obey

Slowly dying, fading..
