Heretic

You are the empire, the promised land beneath my feet
The contrast, that offends my firm theology
We tried to fit Your ways in the boxes humans made
So either You're a heretic
Or You're the Son of God

You are the relapse of quiet streams and greener paths
The foot-notes, of ancient words our language lacks
We could scribble out the notes in the books that Your friends wrote
Cause either everyone's a heretic
Or they've heard the voice of God

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that I can know You more
Offend my mind, offend my mind

You are the contrast, a tender word and a stomach leap
The constant, offending Greek mythology
Capitalize the "G" in the name of He who bleeds
You really resurrect me

Tell me directly, am I just a modern Pharisee
Do my thoughts scream a renewed mind or just words I speak
And if You walk into my home and You make Your glory known
Would my tears soak Your feet
Or would I crucify You

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that I can know You more
Offend my mind

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that I can know You more
Offend my mind

Ooh, Prophet and the Priest
Crucify my disbelief
The divine reminds me of the hope inside me
Ooh, counter of the stars
Resurrect my broken heart
The contrast soothes my mind

You're the earth that I reside in
I break the rules, You break the silence
I see the power in Yours eyes
You're glorious, I'm terrified
A grain of sand upon an island
The real estate inside Your eyelids
I'm a tooth inside a smile
I'm the soul You reconciled

Would You offend my mind, offend my mind
Offend my mind, offend my mind
Would You offend my mind, offend my mind

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that I can know You more
Offend my mind

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more
And break my heart so it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that I can know You more
Offend my mind, offend my mind
