Day after day after day you live in your misconceptions
Cuz our actions don't speak as loud as our words
It hurts, my friend
Can I help you understand
Can I please help you understand what I see?
It's not bred out of fear
It's sprung out of love
It's what we've been in search of
Now spring clear of all the lies
And sever all the ties
With tangled webs of futile thinking
Now spring clear of all half-truths
Cuz the burden of proof
Doesn't rest on an institution
Yeah I can see all the hurt and the misery resulting
From the fact that Christians are the biggest sinners of them all
But please don't fall
Don't let all those who come in Christ's name fool you
Don't you dare, oh don't you dare
It's not bred out of pride
A trophy on the shelf
I can't save you, I can't even save myself
Now spring clear of all the lies
And sever all the ties
With tangled webs of futile thinking
Now spring clear of all half-truths
Cuz the burden of proof
Doesn't rest on an institution
If we've been on our knees, but our eyes have been closed
To all the pain and suffering
I cry out, "God forgive us!"
