lyrics

ENEMY
Jon Simpson © 2011 BugNog Music

i can't believe what i heard you saying
did you listen to the words that left your mouth
a wink and a nod like it's truth you stated
like everyone knows but you pointed it out

you got out your brush and painted one of creation
that you didn't know from a hole in the ground
and based on a single piece of information
delivered a verdict that's beyond all doubt

you know we brandish tongues of fire
and we wield them oh so well
we are the ones who should be different
awakened in grace, but i can't tell
with a fist closed tight in bias
we leave the open hand untried
while all of this time believe we're right
when we decide, “here comes the enemy”

consider the weight of the stone in your hand
and the poison on the arrows you've flown
consider a look into the eyes of a stranger
if you can see beyond the log in your own

consider the darkness as you look in the mirror
of every place that you've hid within
consider the depth of the love that has saved you
that you posses no lesser sin

really it's no surprise how we can justify
we're so skillful excusing ourselves in every lie

just so it's said i'll be the first to admit it
i recognize that i'm a lot like you
but we've got to gain some new perspective
stop saying we love if it isn't true
