White, black, all colors bleed

Three sides of a story the truth is a dream

Pulled inside out, mythos infested

Unconscious slaves to these circles, surrounding

(Us, them), quick pick a side

Playing your part, an increasing divide

(Bitching about) what you think you might lose

While it’s your hand pulling tight on the noose

Divided by life, divided by death

Divided by fear, let’s take a breath

Divided by love, divided by hate

Divided by zero

Point, scream, voice of the proud

Cover your ears, prejudice echos loud

The easiest battles are ones that we choose

Any that matter, always an excuse

(Pain, hate), distorted, enraged

Feeding the cycle ideological shapes

(Sharpening knives) to cut through the smoke

Sleepwalking servants to crosses, we choke

Divided by life, divided by death

Divided by fear, let’s take a breath

Divided by love, divided by hate

Divided by culture

Divided by life, divided by death

Divided by fear, let’s pause a step

Divided by love, divided by hate

Divided by zero

One side is broken

The other is fixed

It all amounts to nothing

When all sides are sick

Left, right, quick turn away

A new controversy is now here to stay

Flickering screens, we are quick to believe

An ignorant part in this catastrophe

(Fight, fear), according to plan

A terminal game that we don’t understand

By a blind piper to feasts we are led

Then tossed aside once the affluent are fed

Divided by life, divided by death

Divided by fear, let’s take a breath

Divided by love, divided by hate

Divided by culture

Divided by life, divided by death

Divided by fear, let’s pause a step

Divided by love, divided by hate

Divided by zero

It all amounts to zero

(Until there’s nothing left)

It all amounts to nothing

(The middle’s left bereft)
