Halves of a Map Lyrics by Gray Joy

Grow Apart

2018

[Verse 1]
I often wonder why the urgency for change
Leaves as the seasons pass, do you really
Think that change will ever come at all?
I often wonder why the need to be someone
Who stands for something is so dependent
On who and what you deem is wrong?
And are you hoping to preserve your integrity
By pointing your finger at some already burning effigy?
And to be fair on the scales
You're a lonely cent that just can't outweigh the wealth placed opposite
[Chorus]
How do you sleep at night?
I wanna know what puts your mind to rest and where
Does your conscious run to hide?
How do you sleep at night?
I wanna know if you can stomach all the guilt
And if you've forgotten your crimes
[Verse 2]
I often marvel at the speeches given endlessly
The teleprompters promises the readers never keep
Could you mimic them all?
And as the urgency for change fulfilled your need
To be someone who fed the families that never eat?
Could you mimic them all?
And when the season finally passes
Will the globe still spin on?
And will your kids know right and wrong?
[Chorus]
How do you sleep at night?
I wanna know what puts your mind to rest and where
Does your conscious run to hide?
How do you sleep at night?
I wanna know if you can stomach all the guilt
And if you've forgotten your crimes
[Bridge]
But if you knew the world was ending
Would you trust that man to ease your child's fears?
And if you knew your house was burning
Who would you keep inside the safety of your prayers?
But if you knew the world was ending
Would you trust that man to ease your child's fears?
And if you knew your house was burning
Who would you keep inside the safety of your prayers?
[Outro]
Ohh-ooh
Ohh-ooh
Ohh-ooh
Ohh-ooh
