lyrics

Put up your hands, show me the shape of your heart
Tight as a fist, soft as an open palm
Don’t waste my time, don’t waste your breath
It’s what you’ve done, not what you’ve said

You say you’re proud, proud of this world that you’ve built
But when I ask about all the blood that’s been spilled
You hide your mouth, you speak in code
You think you’re smart, but everyone knows

You’re so bulletproof behind the artless walls that leave you blind
But I can see through the charade, you’re so afraid

Put up your hands, show me you’re bound to be free
Give me your hand or wait to be swept out to sea
Need I be kind when the future’s mine?
Your thoughts and prayers won’t turn back the tide.
