Clash and Collide Songtext
All the colours that make us foes
From the same brush the paint does flow
And the colours that make us red
Are the colours inside our heads
I stood at the bridge, looked across the border
Saw that it was just drawn on, really water
On the other side seemed the grass was greener
But the face staring back shared the same demeanour, huh
When we′re warring, it's the same old story
Only twice as mean
Our faces dirty, can′t shake the hurting
Both grew from the same seed
The wind carried the fruit to different sides
Shared the same face but seen with different eyes
The sun and the moon rise at different times
Occupying the same space in distant skies
A thinly disguised and reluctant fighter
And the struggling only pulled the knot tighter
Until the desire to draw blood had dried up
Until the lengthening shadow said time's up
We will clash and we'll collide
As we try to shed some light
We′ll take sides like the shores of
The rivers running through our lives
But the same streams that divide us, unite us
Did we raise our fists to tick the box
Or was it ′cause we're boxed in and ticked us off
You and I, we are manoeuvring to pick the lock
Hope and fear is something that we commonly got
And that′s unlikely, 'cause you′re unlike me
But we both bleed bright red
And if inside me, it's unsightly
Well that′s what we both shed
And one seems different, so one keeps distance
Anything to stay consistent
How does our instinct become so inward
When there's nothing better than our co-existence?
That's the summit, but also the place we plummet
There′s a million different ways to cut it, choose one
One in many million why I love it
With the drop below we gotta be a bit above it
Above it or get done
We will clash and we′ll collide
As we try to shed some light
We'll take sides like the shores of
The rivers running through our lives
But the same streams that divide us, unite us
All the colours that make us foes
From the same brush the paint does flow
And the colours that make us red
Are the colours inside our heads
We will clash and we′ll collide
As we try to shed some light
We'll take sides like the shores of
The rivers running through our lives
But the same streams that divide us, unite us
From the same brush the paint does flow
And the colours that make us red
Are the colours inside our heads
I stood at the bridge, looked across the border
Saw that it was just drawn on, really water
On the other side seemed the grass was greener
But the face staring back shared the same demeanour, huh
When we′re warring, it's the same old story

Shared the same face but seen with different eyes
The sun and the moon rise at different times
Occupying the same space in distant skies

And the struggling only pulled the knot tighter
Until the desire to draw blood had dried up
Until the lengthening shadow said time's up
We will clash and we'll collide
