Lyrics We Are Divided - Only Crime

We Are Divided

It’s down to the quick, going over like a brick
There’s a tent overhead because the tenants got sick
Of all the germs in the sky that they never kept high
What good’s a mile of convenience if there’s only one side?
I’ve got a heart like a lion but a brain like a sieve
I keep my habits in the basement where the guns all live
I’ve got the jitters, the shakes, a car without brakes
I spend days getting dizzy from repeating my mistakes, and it’s true…
Like we’ve been shown, desensitized
We drag ourselves through this maze
We’re too alone to recognize
Believe in our own disgrace, we’re better off outside the race
Somewhere a life breaks down to the edge at the bottom of a sign
Between the scars and the trains never running on time
If there’s a bigger type of lie than a man above the sky
When the world goes, man, will the telephones die?
Behind the bars on the wall, there’s a room without a sound
And a crack in the ceiling where the blood runs down
I see my time fly by
The days blend out
The signs tell it all without a shadow of a doubt, and it’s true…
Like we’ve been shown, desensitized
We drag ourselves through this maze
We’re too alone to recognize
Believe in our own disgrace, we’re better off outside the race
Time so defined as the ages wash away, but our lives can’t be undone by the
outside
Just one life sown without vice, keep the old ones out of sight
Without faith, words come gray
We are divided and alone
