Tear me apart for science
Take what's good and throw out the rest
I'm on a search for the righteous
and I can't find any in me
Tell me there's someone who loves me
and that this is all part of His plan
The Bible's got a hook in you, baby
and it won't stop. It's reeling in.
Does it make you tremble?
Does it bring you down to your knees when you quake
Those who speak the loudest
Never say a goddamn thing in the world.
(Can you see straight through me?)
We pacify and bide our time
Until the day we close our eyes
We use this life to pay a price
Put on our heads before we're made
Grace is a funny thing when no one else can hear you.
Pray. I wonder...
Can you see straight through the crooked lens God gives you?
Can you see straight through to find the good in me?
