Arms Race

CalltoArms Artwork by Mel Ryan

Unified for a cause
A cause so great
A cause so deep
A cause worth giving up
Flying solo

Nah, just do it myself
Nah, I do it better
Nah, they’re weird
Nah, seems like work

Come to find out
There’s no neutral territory
There’s no hiding place
Sides are drawn

Funny thing is
The sides we first think are
Actually a same side house divided

Unity found just the other side of us
And it’s all good
