American Standards - Bartenders Without Wings lyrics

We’ve inherited the debt of poor decisions At the price of life, at the price of love And we’ve given in To a cowards demand Exchanging our time for distraction While eating right out of their hands Give us the shackles, we’ll find the wall I want to believe that fear is only skin deep And when staring at the beast What’s looking back is no more than I am Both trying to understand I start on the other side Try to find common ground When hate fights hate the ugly wins It’s a deafening sound But we can overcome Open hearts, open minds Open hearts, no confines Torn apart, dehumanized Open hearts, open minds I want to believe that fear is only skin deep And when staring at the beast What’s looking back is no more than I am Both trying to understand We’re all trying to understand
