Misconceptions

Day after day after day you live in your misconceptions

Cuz our actions don't speak as loud as our words

It hurts, my friend

Can I help you understand

Can I please help you understand what I see?

It's not bred out of fear

It's sprung out of love

It's what we've been in search of

Now spring clear of all the lies

And sever all the ties

With tangled webs of futile thinking

Now spring clear of all half-truths

Cuz the burden of proof

Doesn't rest on an institution

Yeah I can see all the hurt and the misery resulting

From the fact that Christians are the biggest sinners of them all

But please don't fall

Don't let all those who come in Christ's name fool you

Don't you dare, oh don't you dare

It's not bred out of pride

A trophy on the shelf

I can't save you, I can't even save myself

Now spring clear of all the lies

And sever all the ties

With tangled webs of futile thinking

Now spring clear of all half-truths

Cuz the burden of proof

Doesn't rest on an institution

If we've been on our knees, but our eyes have been closed

To all the pain and suffering

I cry out, "God forgive us!"
