The Escape Artist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 passes through my
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
