lyrics

If it seems too simple, then it is
To believe the things you do your disbeliefs suspended
With truth as complicated as it is
sell me lies, sell me lies, sell me black and white lies with simple narratives

When arrows fly do you pick a side?
Or lay on the ground?
When arrows fly do you polarise?
Polarise, polarise, polarise

If you speak whenever you think you’ll never perceive
That the people that you’re screaming at are flawed like you and me
Fists are clenched you’re staring at the screen

I see sun through the trees
Got blood on my knees

I keep running away, keep running away from everyone
You keep running towards them all with fists instead of guns.
