We've inherited the debt of poor decisions
At the price of life, at the price of love
And we've given in to a cowards demand
Exchanging our time for distraction
While eating right out of their hands
Give us the shackles, we'll find the wall
I want to believe that fear is only skin deep
And when staring at the beast
What's looking back is no more than I am
Both trying to understand
I start on the other side
Try to find common ground
When hate fights hate the ugly wins
It's a deafening sound
But we can overcome
Open hearts, open minds
Open hearts, no confines
Torn apart, dehumanized
Open hearts, open minds
I want to believe that fear is only skin deep
And when staring at the beast
What's looking back is no more than I am
Both trying to understand
We're all trying to understand
At the price of life, at the price of love
And we've given in to a cowards demand
Exchanging our time for distraction
While eating right out of their hands
Give us the shackles, we'll find the wall
I want to believe that fear is only skin deep
And when staring at the beast
What's looking back is no more than I am
Both trying to understand
I start on the other side
Try to find common ground
When hate fights hate the ugly wins
It's a deafening sound
But we can overcome
Open hearts, open minds
Open hearts, no confines
Torn apart, dehumanized
Open hearts, open minds
I want to believe that fear is only skin deep
And when staring at the beast
What's looking back is no more than I am
Both trying to understand
We're all trying to understand
