Heretic

You are the empire The promised land beneath my feet The contrast, that offends my firm theology We tried to fit your ways In the boxes humans made So either you’re a heretic Or you’re the son of God You are the relapse Of quiet streams and greener paths The foot-notes, of ancient words our language lacks We could scribble out the notes in the books that your friends wrote Cause either everyone’s a heretic Or they’ve heard the voice of God Ooooh Offend my mind so that I can know you more And break my heart so it looks more like yours Offend my mind so that I can know you more Offend my mind Offend my mind You are the contrast A tender word and a stomach leap The constant, offending Greek mythology Capitalize the “G” in the name of He who bleeds You really resurrect me Tell me directly, am I just a modern pharisee Do my thoughts scream a renewed mind or just words I speak And if you walk into my home and you make your glory known Would my tears soak your feet Or would I crucify you Ooooh Offend my mind so that I can know you more And break my heart so it looks more like yours Offend my mind so that I can know you more Offend my mind Ooooh Offend my mind so that I can know you more And break my heart so it looks more like yours Offend my mind so that I can know you more Offend my mind Ooooooh Prophet and the priest Crucify my disbelief The divine reminds me of the hope inside me Oooooh Counter of the stars Resurrect my broken heart The contrast soothes my mind You’re the earth that I reside in I break the rules, you break the silence I see the power in your eyes You’re glorious, I’m terrified A grain of sand upon an island The real estate inside your eyelids I’m a tooth inside a smile I’m the soul you reconciled Would you offend my mind Offend my mind Offend my mind Offend my mind Would you offend my mind Offend my mind Ooooh Offend my mind so that I can know you more And break my heart so it looks more like yours Offend my mind so that I can know you more Offend my mind Ooooh Offend my mind so that I can know you more And break my heart so it looks more like yours Offend my mind so that I can know you more Offend my mind Offend my mind
