Record Tracklist

  1. Fake Divide -:-- / -:--

my heart beats; breath steady
this peace is deadly
walled in by the comfort
walled out, i can’t hear who suffers

a vain lie allures me
says i’m deserving
the veiled wage for trusting it
i make way for another’s suffering

it’s not enough to say i’m grateful
our fates are bound with chains

lulled to sleep by a siren song of peace
drowning out the stolen dreams
of those who won’t make it
as long as there’s a fake divide
i’m not running from scorched earth
not raising my arms for mercy
get my hands and feet to work
if some of us can’t make it
none of us will make it out alive

our house tilts, the foundation
was built on broken bones
if it falls while we’re sleeping
we’re all going down

it’s not enough to say “what a blessing”
we’re going to share a last breath

i’m not running from my own country
no i am not running now to save my life
i am not raising my hands up in a plea for mercy
not raising my hands up to break the strike
i’m not running to escape the famine
no i am not running now in search of life
i am not raising my hands up in a plea for mercy
not raising my hands up to break the strike

lulled to sleep by a siren song of peace
drowning out the stolen dreams
get my hands and feet to work
if some of us can’t make it
none of us will make it out alive
