Lyrics:
We hold our Bibles high
And we say we’re right
We’ll give you the perfect lines then run and hideCant we see we’ve lost the way
Cant we see that its all just fake
As long as they’re watching everything’s fineWhere are you in all of this
We use your name but destroy your imageI say I’m different but I just look the same
So I am over all this empty faith
I’ve been changed by a love I cant explain
So I am over all this empty faithWe’ll white-wash the outside
We’ll do everything right
As long as they’re watching everything’s fineYou ask for more
You search the heart of me
Change the heart of me
