All the colours that make us foes
From the same brush the paint does flow
And the colours that make us red
Are the colours inside our head
I stood at the bridge, looked across the border
Saw that it was just drawn on, really just water
On the other side seemed grass was greener
But the face staring back shared the same demeanour, huh
When we're warring, the same old story
Only twice as mean
Our faces dirty, can't shake the hurting
Both grew from the same seed
Then the wind carried the fruits to different sides
Shared the same face but seen with different eyes
The sun and the moon rise at different times
Occupying the same space in distant skies
A thinly disguised and reluctant fighter
And the struggling only pulled the knot tighter
Until the desire to draw blood, it dried up
Until the lengthening shadows said times up
We will clash and we'll collide
As we try to shed some light
We'll take sides like the shores of the
Rivers running through our lives, but the
Same streams that divide us, unite us
Did we raise our fists to tick the box, or
Was it 'cause we're boxed in that ticked us off?
You and I we are manoeuvring to pick the lock
Hope and fear's something that we commonly got
Break, that's unlikely
'Cause you're unlike me, but we both bleed bright red
And if inside me, it's unsightly
Well, that's what we both share
And when one's different, one keeps distance
Anything to stay consistent, how did our instinct
Become so inward?
When there's nothing better than our co-existence
That's the summit, but also the place we plummet
There's a million different ways to cut it, choose one
One of many million why I love it
With the drop below we gotta be a bit above it, above it or get done
We will clash and we'll collide
As we try to shed some light
We'll take sides like the shores of the
Rivers running through our lives, but the
Same streams that divide us, unite us
All the colours that make us foes
From the same brush the paint does flow
And the colours that make us red
Are the colours inside our head
We will clash and we'll collide
As we try to shed some light
We'll take sides like the shores of the
Rivers running through our lives, but the
Same streams that divide us, unite us
