How It Sets You Free

Two birds, one stone

One shot, I've thrown

Both these wrongs don't make us right

And so it goes, I suppose, we sunk to this low tonight

They say the truth will set you free

Maybe, possibly

But not before it rips your chest out

And not before it puts your back against the wall

There's a painful coalition, a cardiac collision involved

That's how it sets you free

Two eyes shut tight

Two hands to block the light

Otherwise we just might see

And you and me will be forcibly set free

They say the truth will bring you to your knees

That might make me a better me

But not before it rips your chest out

And not before it puts your back against the wall

There's a painful coalition, a cardiac collision involved

The truth might set you free

But first, it's gonna set fire to your house

It takes what you've been trusting, breaks it down to nothing at all

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Say hello to honest weather

Say goodbye to make-believe

We've been saved from our pretenses

By the skin of missing teeth

Eyes wide open here together

Maybe you and me could be

Uncomfortably, reluctantly

Inconveniently released

One bird, two wings

One you, one me

I don't know what I don't know

But all I know is I got no stones left to throw

What's the point of living comfortably

If what doesn't kill you sets you free?

But not before it rips your chest out

And not before it puts your back against the wall

There's a painful coalition, a cardiac collision involved

The truth might set you free

But first, it's gonna set fire to your house

It takes what you've been trusting, breaks it down to nothing at all

That's how it sets you free

Oh, that's how it sets you free

Oh, that's how it sets you free
