Lyrics
We’re all trapped in our bubbles
We don’t listen to each other
I gather all my evidence
Filtered by allegiances
But does it make a difference
We all came wanting connection
Side by side and hand to hand
We are driven to understand
Until we’re convinced
That the other’s just too different
I start drawing my lines
Find a hill where I’ll die
Magnify the grievances
I don’t think that we can be friends anymore
We’re all trapped in our bubbles
We don’t listen to each other
Scandalized by common sense
Monuments to loneliness
We sacrifice ‘til there’s nothing left
We all came wanting connection
Needing smiles and human touch
Now we choose the anonymous
Qualify for judgement
And make enemies of all of us
I can’t take anymore
I never wanted a war
I miss happiness
And when I used to believe that people tried their best
