The Escape Artist

Open your closed mind (Open your closed mind) Close your open mouth You're pushing more than you're pulling Every word that you say 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? How many have you pushed away, and how many have you saved? 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 than you are pulling 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 than you are pulling --- The Escape Artist - August Burns Red
