The Escape Artist

Open your closed mind, close your open mouth
You're pushing more than you're pulling
Every word that you say passes through myOpen 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 lipsNo 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 awayHow 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 flamesOpen 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 escapesOpen your closed mind and close your open mouth
You're pushing more, you're pushing more than you are pullingOpen 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 pullingOpen your closed mind and close your open mouth
You're pushing more, you're pushing more
