I have to say that my all time favorite band, is August Burns Red. I can listen to them while working out to stay motivated or just chillin and hanging out. I got hooked because of their music style as I rarely pay attention to lyrics when I listen to music. I like to pickout and disect the percussion rythms. However, they are a faith based group and it wasn’t until years after I had been listening to them when I realized that. This particular song is the one that piqued my interest and caused my inquiry into their background etc. As I’m listening to them today while I’m catching up on a few things at work and ponder the lyrics I couldn’t help but take time to pass this along to those who are willing to read this.
"The Escape Artist"
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.
