Clash and Collide

All the colours that make us foes From the same brush the paint does flow And the colours that make us red Are the colours inside our head I stood at the bridge, looked across the border Saw that it was just drawn on, really just water On the other side seemed grass was greener But the face staring back shared the same demeanour, huh When we're warring, the same old story Only twice as mean Our faces dirty, can't shake the hurting Both grew from the same seed Then the wind carried the fruits to different sides Shared the same face but seen with different eyes The sun and the moon rise at different times Occupying the same space in distant skies A thinly disguised and reluctant fighter And the struggling only pulled the knot tighter Until the desire to draw blood, it dried up Until the lengthening shadows said times up We will clash and we'll collide As we try to shed some light We'll take sides like the shores of the Rivers running through our lives, but the Same streams that divide us, unite us Did we raise our fists to tick the box, or Was it 'cause we're boxed in that ticked us off? You and I we are manoeuvring to pick the lock Hope and fear's something that we commonly got Break, that's unlikely 'Cause you're unlike me, but we both bleed bright red And if inside me, it's unsightly Well, that's what we both share And when one's different, one keeps distance Anything to stay consistent, how did our instinct Become so inward? When there's nothing better than our co-existence That's the summit, but also the place we plummet There's a million different ways to cut it, choose one One of many million why I love it With the drop below we gotta be a bit above it, above it or get done We will clash and we'll collide As we try to shed some light We'll take sides like the shores of the Rivers running through our lives, but the Same streams that divide us, unite us All the colours that make us foes From the same brush the paint does flow And the colours that make us red Are the colours inside our head We will clash and we'll collide As we try to shed some light We'll take sides like the shores of the Rivers running through our lives, but the Same streams that divide us, unite us
