Lyrics
0:30The evil fell from your pretty mouth
0:32Wrapped in your classic voice
0:34Angelic in your syntax' demonic in your motive
0:38Your pretty eyes don't know
0:40That the water flowing from this well isn't fresh
0:43Demolish all that sets you up against your rising up
0:47Confessing all that's broken and watch the healing come
0:50Spread out your open hands
0:52Admit you've held them shut
0:53Turn all the way around
0:55Be swept away by this
0:56Time for surrender
0:59Spread out your open hands
1:04And He will raise you up
1:07Confessing all that's broken
1:10And watch the healing come
1:13Spread out your open hands
1:16Admit you've held them shut
1:20Be swept away by this
1:30Your clothes are smooth and spotless
1:31The air is putrid sewage
1:33Downwind of your pressed church clothes
1:35Your eyes are black and empty
1:38Your deeds are just for showing
1:39How big and bright your fake smile glows
1:43I see you moving and their getting scared
1:46Their eyes are focusing on something else
1:49You're staring at me and I stare at you
1:53I rage against everything that you do
1:56See them surrender
1:57Spread out your open hands
2:03And he will raise you up
2:07Confessing all that's broken
2:09Look at the healing come
2:13Spread out your open hands
2:16Admit you've held them shut
2:19Be swept away by this
2:29I see you moving and their getting scared
2:32Their eyes are focusing on something else
2:36You're staring at me and I stare at you
2:39I rage against everything that you do
2:42So get this hell out out of my way
2:46There's nothing more that you can say so
2:49Get this hell out' get this hell out' out out of my way
2:56We spread our open hands
2:59And He is rising up
3:02Repairing all that's broken
3:06Look at the healing come
3:09We spread our open hands
3:12Forgiveness holds them up
3:15We're swept away by this
The evil fell from your pretty mouth Wrapped in your classic voice Angelic in your syntax' demonic in your motive Your pretty eyes don't know That the water flowing from this well isn't fresh Demolish all that sets you up against your rising up Confessing all that's broken and watch the healing come Spread out your open hands Admit you've held them shut Turn all the way around Be swept away by this Time for surrender Spread out your open hands And He will raise you up Confessing all that's broken And watch the healing come Spread out your open hands Admit you've held them shut Be swept away by this Your clothes are smooth and spotless The air is putrid sewage Downwind of your pressed church clothes Your eyes are black and empty Your deeds are just for showing How big and bright your fake smile glows I see you moving and their getting scared Their eyes are focusing on something else You're staring at me and I stare at you I rage against everything that you do See them surrender Spread out your open hands And he will raise you up Confessing all that's broken Look at the healing come Spread out your open hands Admit you've held them shut Be swept away by this I see you moving and their getting scared Their eyes are focusing on something else You're staring at me and I stare at you I rage against everything that you do So get this hell out out of my way There's nothing more that you can say so Get this hell out' get this hell out' out out of my way We spread our open hands And He is rising up Repairing all that's broken Look at the healing come We spread our open hands Forgiveness holds them up We're swept away by this
