Lyrics
Song Description:
Time and time again, I find myself in late-night discussions where either myself or others throw
around killer arguments—not to solve a problem, but simply to win the debate.
In doing so, we disregard humanity on every level—both toward ourselves and others.
Yet the desperate hope for a better way of living together remains.

Lyrics:
every night fever dreams crawl up my chest,
they hold me back, they tear me down till i (nearly) suffocate
i gasp for air, start to choke, stumble on those thoughts
what you said left a trace, now i fall apart
breathe - listen - wander - struggle - suffer - die
sometimes i myself call for drastic actions
what i regret, i regret, i regret
pain has never been a good confidant
cause it infects, it infects, it infects
all the multi-layeredness makes me feel
that i am indecisive
transmission, intermission
but we ain’t no enemies
empathy calls for dignity
we ain’t no enemies
of course i see the worth in your words
that i respect, i respect, i respect
but bringing bombs to the table
wouldn’t solve a thing, solve a thing, solve a thing
all the multi-layeredness makes me feel
that i am indecisive
i feel your wrath and fear
but there must be another way
just one thing left to say, for me
we shouldn’t have enemies
