Torn Apart Lyrics

A naked eye conspires with fear
To form an idea
So destructive and insincere

Reared in the mind
But outside you'll find
That nature does not align

You see,
There's more variation, more variation, there's more within populations
Variation, more variation than between populations

Ah for too many years
A myth perseveres
The scars and the souvenirs

Defined by your skin
Forget we share kin
We're torn apart

It feels as though we're sinking
I don't know how we'll get to shore again
Sinking, we'll surface through the waves

You see,
There's more variation, more variation, there's more within populations
Variation, more variation than between populations

Look back to the past
We hail from one caste
This division will not last

Defined by your skin
Forget we share kin
We're torn apart

It feels as though we're sinking
I don't know how we'll get to shore again
Sinking, we'll surface through the waves
Sinking
I don't know how we'll get to shore again
Sinking, we'll surface through the waves

Sinking
I don't know how we'll get to shore again
Sinking, we'll surface through the waves
Sinking
I don't know how we'll get to shore again
Sinking, we'll surface through the waves

Sinking
I don't know how we'll get to shore again
Sinking, we'll surface through the waves
Sinking
I don't know how we'll get to shore again
Sinking, we'll surface through the waves

I think it's about racism and the hope to overcome it one day. Just my two cents ;-)
