lyrics

There's too many bricks laid down for walking
There's too many fists held up for fights
How many times were you held down so I
Could stand up for your rights?

I have no words for this conversation
My heart's been tied up with a string
If I believe you've been treated wrong
Then what's been happening to me?

We're spinning round and round
Never standing on common ground
Our tails we're biting
We're just widening the gap

They say it's better late than never
I say we've all shown up too late
Too tired now to hold our heads up high
We revel in each other's shame

I see you there right in front of me
We're both drowning in this deep blue sea
But I won't reach you, I won't even try
Your hands aren't raised to meet mine

We're spinning round and round
We're never standing on common ground
Our tails we're biting
We're just widening the gap

We're all in this alone, together
We might hold on for a night
Still clinging to our own needs
Not waking to each other's plight

We're spinning round and round
Never standing on common ground
Our tails we're biting
We're just widening the gap
