Open your closed mind. (Open your closed mind.)
Close your open mouth.
You're pushing morethan you're pulling.
Every word that you say passes through my...
Open your closed mind. Close your open mouth.
You're pushing more than you're pulling.
Every word that you say passes through my
EARS
Before it even escapes your lips.
No one learns from someone they hate.
Your mouth is like a grenade.
No one learns from someone they hate.
Your mouth is like a grenade,
Blowing everyone away. Oh.
How many have you pushed away,
And how many have you saved? (2x)
Pick and choose based on a face,
But it's all in the heart.
Pick and choose based on a face,
But it's all in the heart
That carries weight.
Don't judge until you've taken it all in,
'Cause in the end you'll pray to stay above the flames.
Open your closed mind and close your open mouth.
You're pushing more, you're pushing more than you are pulling.
Every word that you say passes through my ears
Before it even escapes, before it even escapes.
Open your closed mind (Open your closed mind)
And close your open mouth.
You're pushing more, you're pushing more
Than you are pulling.
Open your closed mind and close your open mouth.
You're pushing more, you're pushing more

Run, run like you've already done
You've got to move to meet demand
You're far flung when the music's done
You better find a place to land
It's all true when I lit that fuse
I never meant to be your friend
I kicked the tire but it caught on fire
I'm going to try to make amends
You act mysterious
But you speak in gibberish
You can take your memory
I'm off I'd better be alone, alone, alone, alone
I'm off I'd better be alone, alone
Part two now you're back in the news
You're gonna spread the word around
I'm all done cause the song is sung
I'm gonna black my windows out
You move mysterious
But you speak in gibberish
You can take your memory
I'm off I'd better be alone, alone, alone, alone
I'm off I'd better be alone, alone
No harm, no foul
It's not fine at all
It's not fair leading us there
It's no fun at all
You act mysterious
But you speak in gibberish
You can take your memory
I'm off I'd better be alone, alone, alone, alone

When I was nineteen I saw my girlfriend get beaten
She had black and blues that revealed the mistreatment
Feeling trapped in hell when you want to escape
It's crazy in her eyes it's a common place
Remember that night there was that fight and I heard those screams from upstairs
Man we were only in our teenage years and fucking alcohol already abused us
It was too much
Bloody mary breakfast, dinner and lunch
Done turning water to wine
You should have never crossed her line
Done turning water to wine
You did this for the last time
This dare I say some might call a family
Run on tears and half-hearted apologies
And forgiveness only given from fear
These common events roll off ice-cold shoulders
Like water on wax
No sweat off your back
But it digs like a thorn in your side
Paralyze paralyzed
I bet a part of you died
I tried so hard to steal the fear from your eyes
Paralyze paralyzed
Felt like a part of me died
Remember the night, the ambulance and the fight?
Tell us what happened there
We're in the E.R. and you're still keeping secrets
We see that gash on your brow
The blood, it was too much
Mary's bloody cause she's drinking too much
Done turning water to wine
You should have never crossed her line
Done turning water to wine
You did this for the last time
When I was nineteen I saw my girlfriend get beaten
She had black and blues that revealed the mistreatment
Feeling trapped in hell when you want to escape
It's crazy in her eyes it's a common place
Too afraid to show your scars
But girl you deserve an applause
No better time than now to stand tall stand strong
Stand tall stand strong

The escape artist knows his faults
and decides when they threaten to outnumber him.
Magicians know the power of deception.
It's not a lie if you believe it.
And the day will come when you need to
throw your hands up in the air and say,
Where's the pilot of this spaceship?
Which steps will take me down the right road?
An exercise in making history absurd.
Shining example of simplicity and virtue
