There's a curtain between us, me and you
So what else could I do?
but build it up
till the red bricks stretch to the white clouds
and you can't tell them apart.
What happened to my people on the other side?
What happened since we had to hide
from their yacht club?
Their towering windows from here to the shroud?
and you can't tell it apart.
I had to break the windowpane to build the wall
Are they still standing tall
in their gilded dust?
My tongue was salted, cut, and disallowed
and you can't tell us apart anymore.
We are the white clouds
We are the bluebirds
They are the red wall
They are the black blur.
and you can't tell us apart anymore.
We are the mighty
They are the proud
We are the ready
They are the loud.
and you can't tell us apart anymore.
