Nervous Embrace
I've got a bone to pick
Over and over
Noses turn up at mercy
But no one bats an eye
Turned away the prodigals
Sent lost souls out the door
Denied grace to their war
And claimed we loved them
But just because you say it
Doesn't mean you mean it
Just because you say it
Doesn't mean you
Have got a love for them
A love for anyone else
Are we aware that it then
Reflects a name above
(Is this you?)
Caught between the world and a hard place
Hold onto religion in a nervous embrace
Self-made righteousness leaves no room for grace
I'm sure that witness leaves a lukewarm aftertaste
I was there my entire life
I was dead my entire life
Exposed now underneath
The vilest apathy
We've made comfort our king
Cry lord, lord when it's missing
But just because you say it doesn't mean you mean it
Just because you say it doesn't mean you mean it
Just because you say it doesn't mean you mean it
Just because you say it doesn't mean you mean it
Doesn't mean you mean it
Doesn't mean you mean it
If the shoe fits, kick it off
If the shoe fits, kick it off
If the shoe fits, kick it off
If the shoe fits, kick it off
Over and over
Noses turn up at mercy
But no one bats an eye
Turned away the prodigals
Sent lost souls out the door
Denied grace to their war
And claimed we loved them
But just because you say it
Doesn't mean you mean it
Just because you say it
Doesn't mean you
Have got a love for them
A love for anyone else
Are we aware that it then
Reflects a name above
(Is this you?)
Caught between the world and a hard place
Hold onto religion in a nervous embrace
Self-made righteousness leaves no room for grace
I'm sure that witness leaves a lukewarm aftertaste
I was there my entire life
I was dead my entire life
Exposed now underneath
The vilest apathy
We've made comfort our king
Cry lord, lord when it's missing
But just because you say it doesn't mean you mean it
Just because you say it doesn't mean you mean it
Just because you say it doesn't mean you mean it
Just because you say it doesn't mean you mean it
Doesn't mean you mean it
Doesn't mean you mean it
If the shoe fits, kick it off
If the shoe fits, kick it off
If the shoe fits, kick it off
If the shoe fits, kick it off
