Across The Divide

Take your hand from my face
I don't need your condescending embrace
You think you know what I am
But my poison's a very peculiar brand


You tried to force us in
With all your cardboard cut out friends
But all you do is shout out and contend with our wicked hearts
No, you just keep on screaming

There's a fine line between order and chaos
A frayed thread that winds it's way through us
There's a hard fall, Just on the other side of this wall and

It used to be they told you where to stand
Slipped nonchalant into the palm of your hand
It's just the way it's always been


And they'll cry for your change, 
Then they'll spit in your face
They'll stone you
They'll cut you down
Until they say you're sane

The sold out souls of all these 
Post-war kids,
They all just wanna grow to be 
Beautiful idiots
Wide eyed
But fast asleep
Will they never wake?


Get your hand out of my mouth
My words aren't yours to cut out and break down
It's a useless game we just pass back the blame
It's always the same
All to keep a deep wound bleeding 
And when it gets caught in the throat 
They tell you just lie down and swallow

Cause there's a fine line we've drawn here between us
A frayed thread that winds its way through us
There's a hard fall, just on the other side of that wall

It used to be they told you where to stand
Slipped nonchalant into the palm of your hand
It's just the way it's always been


The sold out souls of all these 
post-war kids, 
They're all just gonna grow to be 
Complacent misfits
Tired eyed
But hard awake
It's always the same

They'll cry for your change, 
Then they'll spit in your face
They'll stone you
They'll cut you down
It's always the same
We'll never wake
It's always the same

Across The Divide

Blame is a lamentation on the expression of hate while asking, “Can someone’s character be separated from its cause?”
 
For many of us, September 2001 was an introduction to what has since grown dreadfully familiar. Still, after fifteen years, the problem of blame in relativism persists.
