Divide and Conquer

They say I’m supposed to hate you
Just because I never knew you
And the place where you come from
And the feelings that you feel
I can’t relate to your beliefs
And the things your elders preach
And your idea of right or wrong
This confusion that I see
Separate, separate
Fill them all with fear and hate
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down
Suffocate, manipulate
Orchestrate how they behave
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down
All this madness, born of fears
From the last two thousand years
This illusion they create
From the man made lies they teach
I see humanity exploding
And our liberty eroding
This division that we crave
This confusion that I see
Separate, separate
Fill them all with fear and hate
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down
Suffocate, manipulate
Orchestrate how they behave
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down
Striving for a better life
With violence, death and suicide
And sworn defiance to a cause
And sworn allegiance to a flag
Brainwashed soldiers march with pride
To commit their homicide
Desecrating foreign shores
To come home in a body bag
Separate, separate
Fill them all with fear and hate
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down
Suffocate, manipulate
Orchestrate how they behave
Kill them if they make a sound
Divide and conquer, take them down

Something strange is going on
Something nervous, something wrong
A twisting emptiness I find
Blurred perceptions in my mind
I can hear a thousand stares
Laughing faces everywhere
Second guessing what they think
Unsuspecting as I sink
Interaction seems impaired
An awkward silence in the air
Fumbled actions, stumbled words
Misconceptions are endured
Damned by those I called my friends
Do I blame myself again?
Mourning misplaced loyalty
Scarred by guilt and mockery
Riding the cloud
Drifting away
Guarding my thoughts
In every single way
Riding it out
Counting the days
Asking myself
If I’m fine
If I ride the clouds away
Tied in knots I try to breathe
Chasing demons in my sleep
Introspection closing in
Analysing every sin
I can hear a thousand stares
Laughing faces everywhere
Second guessing what they know
Questioning the undertow
Riding the cloud
Drifting away
Guarding my thoughts
In every single way
Riding it out
Counting the days
Asking myself
If I’m fine
If I ride the clouds away
