The Great Divide

The Great Divide - Faded Grey

Subtle lines of separation

Mapped out on paper

Another useless boundary

Just another reason

For more division

It seems we want more enemies

The things we had in common withered with time

Ideals that once meant something have all died

The walls we worked to break have been replaced

A scene once filled with love now thrives on hate

We used to stand on the same side

Same side

Until we met this great divide

Based on b******t labels

Labels

And petty politics

We've lost our way

In this war we wage

Where we're all the same

Alone and scared and simply searching

For a better way

So where's the middleground

Where we once stood

Either we're too strict

With our politics

Or too slack

In the lives

We lead

It breaks my heart

That we let ourselves fall apart

We used to be a threat

United we had a chance

But divided we don't mean s**t

Compared to the mindless masses

We fight against

We've torn our house down

From the inside out

With the convenience of cliques

Our desperate need

To classify everything

Will be our death

We used to stand on the same side

Until we met this great divide

Based on b******t labels

And petty politics

We used to stand on the same side

Until we met this great divide

We've lost our way

In this war we wage
