In Between (Metal F2)

The static’s getting louder on the morning feed Another line is drawn for a ghost we don’t need I’m looking at my neighbor, looking at the sky Wondering when the "truth" became a polished lie. We’re building up the walls while the roof’s caving in Trying to name a loser before the games begin And I just want to step outside the frame To a place where we don't have to carry a name. I want to fly past the smoke and the thunder Past the weight that’s trying to pull us under Beyond the "us" and the "them" in the dark To the pilot light, to the original spark. We’re all just walking the same tired ground Searching for a light that hasn't been found So let’s leave the fever and the fury behind And see what we find in the quiet between the lines. There’s a storm across the ocean, a storm in the street And a hunger at the table that we can’t seem to meet They’ve got us counting pennies and picking a side While the ones at the top take us all for a ride. But the soul isn’t painted in a binary hue, It’s the millions of shades between me and you. I’m tired of the labels, I’m tired of the war I’m looking for the thing that we’re actually for. It’s not a map, it’s not a flag It’s the heavy breath in a paper bag It’s the 99, it’s the common thread It’s the simple hope of being clothed and fed. We’ve been shouting so loud we forgot how to hear That the only thing we’re fighting is our own damn fear. I want to fly past the smoke and the thunder Past the weight that’s trying to pull us under Beyond the us and the them in the dark To the pilot light, to the original spark. We’re all just walking the same tired ground Searching for a light that hasn't been found So let’s leave the fever and the fury behind And see what we find in the quiet between the lines. Just you and me. No side to take. Just the world we want to make. In the quiet... Between the lines
