Maybe if you take these feelings off of me
I wouldn’t be feeling the way I do right now
Maybe if you rip this muscle off my chest then
I wouldn’t be hurting the way I’m doing now.
They think they have found the magic formula
As if prayers were like rubbing on a magic lamp
It’s funny how you changed this empty space
Just to put all of these things I can’t deal with.
I can feel the pain of the world like nobody else does
Apathy and indifference are humanity’s most comfortable behavior
Either you are lying or we’re doing less that we’re supposed to
How can you give us all, and we never give anything in return?
We love ourselves more than we’ll ever love the world
We say we love you just to hide the fact we don’t care about anyone at all
We think we can impress you with our words and time in your house
While there’s a world out that keeps getting lost, begging for redemption
But it’s not our problem since we’re already saved
As long as we smile at our brothers and “bless” them
We’re gonna up keep with the charade, it fits us well
We’re nothing like Christ, but we like to pretend we have his heart.
Anything to keep us from doing what Christ did
We’re gonna get offended if anyone dares to call us out
We don’t need anything or anyone to open our eyes up
We’re doing pretty well wearing these blinders and calling it faith.
Maybe if you give me to entertain my mind
I wouldn’t be looking at all those in need
Maybe if you rip this muscle off my chest then
I wouldn’t be hurting to the point I bleed.
At the bottom with the rest
‘Cause this is the only place I can find them
In the same place that you found me
Hopefully you can help me reach them out and pull them up.
