[Verse 1]
God break down the door
God break down the door
You won't find the answers here
Not the ones you came looking for
[Verse 2]
God break down the door
Everything all at once
There aren't any answers here
No, no, not anymore
[Verse 3]
God break down the door
God break down the door
You won't find the answers here
Not the ones you came looking for
[Verse 4]
God break down the door
Everything all at once
There aren't any answers here
No, no, no, no
[Outro]
Remove the pain and push it back in
Remove the pain and push it back in
Remove the pain and push it back in
Remove the pain and push it back in
Remove the pain and push it back in
Remove the pain and push it back in
Remove the pain and push it back in

Remove the pain and push it back in (pull it out, push it back)
Remove the pain and push it back in
