Lyrics Thrice – Only Us
Text:
I see through your eyes
You breathe with my lungs
I strain with your ear to make out
The words your mother sung
You pray on my knees (you pray on my knees)
It’s my blood in your veins
And your heart is beating in me
Finally when will it be enough
To find there’s no them
There is only us
There’s only us
I strike with your fist
You shoot with my gun
We spit in your face with my mouth
And curse me with your tongue
We cast us aside (we cast us aside)
We silence our plea (we silence our plea)
But the system that terrifies you
Should terrify me
Finally when will it be enough
To find there’s no them
There is only us
Finally when will it be enough
To find there’s no them
There is only us
There’s only us
We burn at our stakes
We die by our swords
We choke in our trenches
We’re locked in our chains
Though we long to be free
We keep building walls
Till it’s so hard to see
We are one with everything
We are one
But it’s so hard to see
Finally when will it be enough
To find there’s no them
There is only us
Finally when will it be enough
To find there’s no them
There is only us
There’s only us
