The Divide

Grasping at straws, we cannot seem to find our way out
I see the world divide right in front of me
I fight it, I deny it, but now I've come to realise
That the truth about us is we're all misguided rats in a box

To think for yourself is to hang by yourself
To speak the truth about this greed and wealth
Will drag you under the side that lies and fools for a dime
The ones who purposefully manipulate others to better themselves

We all make the choice

We all make the choice, one of two things
The question is are you a victim or villain?
Whichever path you take decides the price you will pay
I'd rather fall right through than bow my head to you

I won't give in until I know there's not a single soul
Who washes away in a tide of dismay
Is living a life tailored for their decay

We're throwing away our potential to build a world
Where we flourish and follow our will
We try, we survive, but we could fly if only
We'd save this withering world where

To think for yourself is to hang by yourself
To speak the truth about this greed and wealth
Will drag you under the side that lies and fools for a dime
The ones who purposefully manipulate others to better themselves

We all make the choice, one of two things
The question is are you a victim or villain?
Whichever path you take, decides the price you will pay
I'd rather fall right through, than bow my head to you
