Paper Cranes Lyrics by Surroundings

Glass Heart

2017

[Verse 1]
Heartbeats join us all in unison
Lines in the sand divide us all
(Divide us all)
Influencing a cultural divide
That only fuels the fires
We can never hold unity
While people still take sides
Creased together from broken parts and patched pieces
But we continue to grow apart
And let our world separate beyond reason
(Separate beyond reason)
Where did we go so wrong?
When did it all fall apart?
When did it all fall apart?

[Chorus]
Folded so carefully
Like paper cranes
Into the ways we think
And opinions we hold
Folded so carefully
Like paper cranes
But how are we to grow
Without testing what we're told?

[Verse 2]
We chose our fate
The day we opened our mouths
And began to speak with silvered tongues
Standing on our own two feet
Choosing for ourselves, what is right to believe
What is wrong to adhere
The endless cultural divides
Created from fear
Made only to destroy
Our sense of fellowship
Only strengthened through negativity
Where did we go so wrong?
When did it all fall apart?
(Where did it all fall apart?)
When did it all fall apart?

[Chorus]
Folded so carefully
Like paper cranes
Into the ways we think
And opinions we hold
Folded so carefully
Like paper cranes
But how are we to grow
Without testing what we're told?

[Bridge]
Nothing but fear
Creates the borders
Dividing us as
No more than human resources
Builds boundaries
And tears us apart
Take us back to the start
Take us back to the start
Take us back to the start

[Chorus]
Folded so carefully
Like paper cranes
Into the ways we think
And opinions we hold
Folded so carefully
Like paper cranes
But how are we to grow
Without testing what we're told?

[Outro]
And realising that no one is right
The venom on our lips
Only fuels the fires
We can never hold unity
While people still take sides
While people still take sides
