The Animals We Are
We were friends
What's with the fence between us?
Cut the rope, taken by the wind
We were friends
What's with bricks and mortar?
Turning away as the sun sets
Seeing colors, creeds and cultures clash
Crimson spills as the chaos reaches a critical mass
Like a car crash, everyone makes a dash for the cash
Pointing the fingers and pointing blame
We were friends, were friends
Drawing lines,
Drawing lines
For our walls
We were friends
Why do cast the stones at each other?
We once cast them to skip over the river
We were friends
Why do clutch our fist and fling our tongues?
There was respect, there was consideration
Seeing colors, creeds and cultures clash
Crimson spills as the chaos reaches a critical mass
Like a car crash, everyone makes a dash for the cash
Pointing the fingers and pointing blame
We were friends, were friends
Drawing lines,
Drawing lines
For our walls
We are mice yearning for the cheese
Scrabbling against the walls.
What path to take?
What mistakes to make?
We can smell it
We can almost taste it.
But we drew our lines
Drew our lines
To make these walls
To make these walls
We were friends
Don't we bleed the same?
We were friends
Without lines
