Split Everything

Verse 1

Wire on the fence and dead air on the dial

Two houses standing on the same cracked ground

One prays for rain while the other builds a wall

Same blood running through different names

Pre-Chorus

And I hear the shouting through the plaster

Every window facing every door

Chorus

Divide us down the middle

Burn the bridge you swore you'd keep

Divide us by the letter

While the floor gives way beneath our feet

Post-Chorus

Split the sky split the sea

Split everything that used to be

Verse 2

My neighbor knows my dog's name not my own

We wave from our cars like strangers at a wake

The radio screams what the pulpit won't say

And nobody blinks nobody moves

Pre-Chorus

I used to sing on this same porch

Now I count the locks on every hinge

Chorus

Divide us down the middle

Burn the bridge you swore you'd keep

Divide us by the letter

While the floor gives way beneath our feet

Post-Chorus

Split the sky split the sea

Split everything that used to be

Bridge

Tear it down and call it freedom

Severed hands still reach for one another

One nation under the same red sun

Cut in half by words we never chose

Chorus

Divide us down the middle

Burn the bridge you swore you'd keep

Divide us by the letter

While the floor gives way beneath our feet

Post-Chorus

Split the sky split the sea

Split everything that used to be
