Dark Divide by @augustburnsred 'Death Below' out Now Purchase at: http://www.deathbelow.com Purchase, Stream at: https://found.ee/DeathBelow Composed by JB Brubaker, Lyrics by Brent Rambler Burning bridges we’re halfway across There’s no light at the end There’s no safety in turning back Our heals are dug in Tensions are deep within We’ve been trading blows now everyone is bloody There are no more innocents We’ve been trading blows now everyone is bloody Throw us all in the penitentiary War, war for the sake of war Common ground is the most stable War, war for the sake of war Convinced peace is not obtainable If we all fight on the fringe, we will never make a connection Disaster begins when we’re spread thin If this was a tsunami, the surge would have been 40 feet tall If there had been a fire, the flames would have consumed it all We no longer care about the cost Now we weep for what we lost Taking in the air from the earth Spitting out nothing of worth Take a walk with your enemy and you’ll see You’re on the same path How can we coexist When no one will admit That compromise means both sides give a little bit? Going against the grain shouldn’t cause others pain Burning bridges we’re halfway across There’s no light at the end There’s no safety in turning back Our heals are dug inTensions are deep within How will I carry your coffin If I’m lying in the one beside yours? Save your fury for the guilty ones Discover clarity embrace your adversary
