Sad State of Affairs
by Fades Away

Album: Sad State of Affairs - Single

Keep your distance don't cross that line
You stay on your side and I'll stay on mine
Fear and ignorance intertwine
Twisting and wrenching infecting my mind
I'm begging I'm pleading
Can't help but feeling
If love was a person that person's not breathing
We bleed the same blood
We break the same bones
We fan the same flame
We cast the same stones
We magnify subtleties up in our heads 'til compassion and empathy wind up dead
Piercing glances through darkened eyes
Your true intentions outshine your disguise
Finding new reasons to justify
Painting the age old dividing lines
Sacrificing compromising
Sucking me dry
I'm begging I'm pleading
I'm asking I'm needing
I'm ripping I'm clawing I'm desperately seeking
A vision, a sign
A weapon, sublime
To vanquish the hatred and leave it behind
We bleed the same blood
We break the same bones
We fan the same flame
We cast the same stones
And all we'll have left at the end of the day is a mountain of nothing
A vacuum
Decay
