lyrics

They don’t relate
They don’t hear anything you say
We’re on our way
To a place we can’t escape
Now you’ve turned to stone
It’s probably best that I leave that alone
Because if I don’t match your tone
Then I’m an enemy who can’t do nothing
But do wrong

You don’t like what they said
You’d meet ‘em in the middle
But the middle’s dead
No, we don’t talk
Just lose our heads
We’ll all get buried under it

We demonize
We criticize, dehumanize
Don’t realize
All the lies twisting our minds
And if we let our fears
Turn to hate, it’ll turn into tears
If you could lend your ear
And listen to me like I’m someone
That you hold dear

You don’t like what they said
You’d meet ‘em in the middle
But the middle’s dead
No, we don’t talk
Just lose our heads
We’ll all get buried under it

They don’t like what you said
They’d meet you in the middle
But the middle’s dead
No, we don’t talk
Don’t use our heads
We’ll bury ourselves under it

I get the feeling that we’ll fall
And our stubborn selves will cause it all
I hear the engine start to stall
But at least we’ll all feel right
At least we’ll go out standing tall
