it breaks right through the vein to find a pathway to the bloodstream
an accepting heart rejects compassion, an open mind embraces fear
just loosten up your grip, i know control can be addictive
are you afraid of what you'd see if you looked into a mirror?

bow down now or cease to be
this gift that God gave to me
live face down until you see
that sacrifice will set you free

feeding them trust so that they swallow
abusing their faith so that they follow
you've reached out to fill with hope, but instead you've made them hollow
you think i'm mad for all i've seen, you'd better pray, 'cause God gets angry like me

bow down now, trapped underneath
this gift that God gave to me
live face down until you see
that ours is the only way to be

i hold more contempt for your breed of sheep
than all the goats in the world, or what they believe

you think you're chosen
you think he put you in charge of me
that's not his voice speaking through you
so stop trying to make me dance with loose strings

this hole was once the world i knew
take a step back or sink in through
swallowed up, made to believe
to trust in what i cannot see
let the tangled web of lies expand
while you place your head under the sand
cough it up or breathe it in
the end is where we all begin
now take this weary hand of mine
close your eyes, become inclined
i'll walk you down the path of life
and i'll show you the holiest way to die

my eyes are open

my eyelids are peeled apart
new currents stir my mind
born with this gift of thought so that we'd not believe the lie
