"Divide" lyrics

"Divide"

I've been treading water
Tracing fire across the sky
Killing all the daylight
In your un-dreaming eyes
Would you hear a melody
If it didn't rhyme?
Could you feel a rhythm
Seal your place in time?

For centuries we've squandered
Everything that's sacred
These centuries we've stuttered
To replicate the frequency
Frequency
The frequency

I was born to remain
You were born to resist
All the lies you maintain
All the cues that I missed

We were the invulnerable everything with nothing left to feel
As you and I divide, we'll compromise and learn to know what's real

Your wanderlust
Never carried us
Nor satisfied the need to be saved
Your highness
Never pardoned us
Now we wait in squalor as saints

I am the tyrant
You are the defeated
I am the ocean
You are the depleted
I am the beggar
You are the wealthy
I am proud
You are the one who made me

Don't let go
My arms are full and my burden heavy
I need to know
That all of this is more than temporary

We were the invulnerable everything with nothing left to feel
As you and I divide, we'll compromise and learn to know what's real

We'll never know what's real
We'll never know what's real
