Opposite Ourselves
How much should I care about a country that hates me
How could I turn my back on a people that gave me everything
Is there a way to move past always being afraid
How do I gain the courage to face another day
How do I brace for blunt discrimination
How do I know it won't always be this way
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
Where is the line between alive and merely watching
Is there a way to be other than stuck
Does it matter that I am still breathing
Will I ever figure out this mess
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
Soothed to sleep with war and famine
The voice of nightly news' lullaby
Why would you second guess we were raised with the klaxon
Warning imminent destruction
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
How could I turn my back on a people that gave me everything
Is there a way to move past always being afraid
How do I gain the courage to face another day
How do I brace for blunt discrimination
How do I know it won't always be this way
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
Where is the line between alive and merely watching
Is there a way to be other than stuck
Does it matter that I am still breathing
Will I ever figure out this mess
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
Soothed to sleep with war and famine
The voice of nightly news' lullaby
Why would you second guess we were raised with the klaxon
Warning imminent destruction
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
In a world of gradients, why do we see opposites
In another's face why don't we see ourselves
