Found out the world is flat
Ah well now fancy that
Alternate fluid facts
To suit the situation

All innocence is lost
Time to count the cost
Of all the bombs we toss
Into the conversation

No matter what you think of me
I’m not your enemy
Although the wounds run deep

Dog whistle wonder boys
With their broken toys
Busy making noise
In need of condemnation

Divisive words at play
That rattle ‘round the brain
They echo and delay
The reconciliation 

They bend and break your will with ease 
And make us enemies
And now the roots run deep

Still we stick to keeping score
I’m tired of this unnecessary war

All loose ends and fraying seams
Guess who lied and guess who will believe
I wonder if we have forgiveness up our sleeves
instead of battle cries
And the world lies
The world lies…between us 

Chase the windmill, bang the drum
Be the wind beneath my gun
All undone and all done for
I’m sick of this unnecessary war

A plea for silence shout it loud
Wave the white flag deep among the crowd
You know, where no real introspection is allowed 
In case it spoils the surprise
That the world lies
The world lies… between us
