Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] President’s insulting presidents Talking tough on every screen Throwing words like broken bottles Kids are cutting on the scene Scroll is shaking Hands are shaking Uncle yells at family All that heat from all that hating Burns the house we’re trying to keep [Pre-Chorus] But when I’m standing in the hallway Next to strangers I just met I see one thing in the x-ray That we always forget [Chorus] Bones are white and blood is red Same ribs over the same soft breath Every heartbeat sounds like mine Under every skin and every side Bones are white and blood is red That’s the only color in my head When it comes to any other human Eyes need to see beyond the hue Man [Verse 2] Talking heads keep drawing borders On a map that’s in our minds Turn us into different orders Sell us fear in little lines But at midnight in the ER Nobody checks your flag or faith Just a hand that holds another Just a life they try to save [Pre-Chorus] So if you’re standing in the doorway Choosing who is “them” or “us” Take a second Think in x-rays Strip it down to flesh and trust [Chorus] Bones are white and blood is red Same ribs over the same soft breath Every heartbeat sounds like mine Under every skin and every side Bones are white and blood is red That’s the only color in my head When it comes to any other human Eyes need to see beyond the hue Man (yeah) [Bridge] What if the border is just our fear What if the enemy’s in this mirror What if the question is always “we” What if your pain is also me [Chorus] Bones are white and blood is red Same ribs over the same soft breath Every heartbeat sounds like mine Under every skin and every side Bones are white and blood is red That’s the only color in my head When it comes to any other human Eyes need to see beyond the Eyes need to see beyond the Eyes need to see beyond the skin
