Lyrics

[00:30.62] The evil fell from your pretty mouth
[00:32.94] Wrapped in your classic voice
[00:34.56] Angelic in your syntax' demonic in your motive
[00:38.68] Your pretty eyes don't know
[00:40.43] That the water flowing from this well isn't fresh
[00:43.98] Demolish all that sets you up against your rising up
[00:47.22] Confessing all that's broken and watch the healing come
[00:50.04] Spread out your open hands
[00:52.16] Admit you've held them shut
[00:53.59] Turn all the way around
[00:55.03] Be swept away by this
[00:56.77] Time for surrender
[00:59.04] Spread out your open hands
[01:04.04] And He will raise you up
[01:07.41] Confessing all that's broken
[01:10.53] And watch the healing come
[01:13.55] Spread out your open hands
[01:16.91] Admit you've held them shut
[01:20.22] Be swept away by this
[01:30.08] Your clothes are smooth and spotless
[01:31.96] The air is putrid sewage
[01:33.39] Downwind of your pressed church clothes
[01:35.12] Your eyes are black and empty
[01:38.31] Your deeds are just for showing
[01:39.94] How big and bright your fake smile glows
[01:43.50] I see you moving and their getting scared
[01:46.55] Their eyes are focusing on something else
[01:49.86] You're staring at me and I stare at you
[01:53.17] I rage against everything that you do
[01:56.60] See them surrender
[01:57.53] Spread out your open hands
[02:03.52] And he will raise you up
[02:07.02] Confessing all that's broken
[02:09.95] Look at the healing come
[02:13.26] Spread out your open hands
[02:16.62] Admit you've held them shut
[02:19.80] Be swept away by this
[02:29.84] I see you moving and their getting scared
[02:32.96] Their eyes are focusing on something else
[02:36.21] You're staring at me and I stare at you
[02:39.52] I rage against everything that you do
[02:42.14] So get this hell out out of my way
[02:46.06] There's nothing more that you can say so
[02:49.69] Get this hell out' get this hell out' out out of my way
[02:52.75]
[02:56.26] We spread our open hands
[02:59.63] And He is rising up
[03:02.87] Repairing all that's broken
[03:06.17] Look at the healing come
[03:09.48] We spread our open hands
[03:12.86] Forgiveness holds them up
[03:15.97] We're swept away by this
