lyrics

when all we see is difference between us
will we ever stop this endless war?
could we see past the fear
hold each other still
could we try and understand the other a little more?

or will the bombs explode?
dust settle cold
and still on these broken homes
cold and still

if you can't look into my eyes
'cause all you see is blue, red, black, white
fight or flight
fear of each other
can we ever learn to trust one another?

or will the bombs explode?
dust settle cold
and still on these broken homes
cold and still

the thing is we've been here before
all it ever did was start an endless war
of guilt, death, indoctrination steps,
learning and unlearning
and just trying to pay of debt
of murder of nations
entire populations
of races, of lives
shattered a thousand times for what?
can we just stop?

or will the bombs explode?
dust settle cold
and still on these broken homes
cold and still

(backing vocals)
round and round and round we go
round and round and round we go
until we stop
until we say no
round and round and round and round
