Sides

lyrics and music written by KarrArikh Tor

from the album Spiral Default 2013

The shells explode all day and night,
Whether outside my door, or in my mind

Everyone wants me to choose a side,
But I feel like I'm choosing blind

Don't you fear being labelled, A dissident?

Will the next government think, Of me as a threat?

You can't be free, If your somebody's puppet

Coke or Pepsi, Is that what you really want?

Should we lead a revolution, Or heed a revolution?

That's what we all must decide,
Is it you who chooses your role?

• Should I go left, Should I go right

• What if I only want to turn around

• Are we sacred, Or blasphemy

• Aren't we all heretics to someone

I fear what I will do, As I fear what I will say

It's a natural conclusion,
When you don't agree with your neighbours today

I don't want to live, as some alter ego

I wear no masks, as you can see

Respect is what, We need between us

It's not about sides, Or the walls between

But the respect to tear them down

Division's not the answer / It's never an end

Generations of sides / That's all that begins

I'm not sure what I want, why should I have to choose?

Sometimes I feel like my side,
Was chosen for me long before I was born

Will I be punished if I choose the wrong side,
Will it be just like before?

Is this life mine or, Do I need to follow?

Have I crossed a line, Will it lead me to sorrow?

Will the prophets cry as they see our blood run the ground

• chorus

It doesn't have to be / We can end this now

All the violence that I see / It's not slowing down

We are all one side / It's choosing that divides

We are all important / Why should I have to choose
