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
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
