Divided We Fall (Seisser/Hunt)

Caught in the wake of the claim you stake
Cannot break out till it’s broken
Terms and conditions apply
But it’s been awhile since anyone has spoken
And all your takeaways perpetuate the same truth
‘Cause you only hear what’s best for you

But it grows in corners
And creeps up the walls
It’s closing in until
No light can get in at all
And the only way out
Is to look within
Or grab another lens
And look for a while through it
More than what’s best for you
Now you poked a hole or two
Now you see the whole view
Not just what is best

Grab a hold and don’t let go
Even though you’re gonna wanna throw
It far away from here
Keep it near for moments the
Fearful blind folded try to steer

It is bone-on-bone friction within you
It’s a life-or-death question
That you haven’t thought through
And I’m beginning to understand the ways
You’re stuck in a loop
‘Cause you only hear what’s best for you

But it’s growing stronger
It’s hard to ignore
Cannot identify the wolf at the door no more
Split down the middle
This is do or die
Seems like the same number of states do and don’t unite

Grab a hold and don’t let go
Even though you’re gonna wanna throw
It far away from here
Keep it near for moments the
Fearful blind folded try to steer

And all your takeaways perpetuate the same truth
‘Cause you only hear what’s best for you
