Lyrics
I'm not the one you've read about
I do not match the descriptions you have heard about me.
I'm not your sanctuary seat
I am not your place of refuge or solace.
I'm not the one they've told you about
I am not the person others have informed you about.
I've never claimed to be of your belief
I have never claimed to adhere to your beliefs.
Yet the claims keep coming
Despite this, accusations and stories persist.
The elaborate stories
Elaborate narratives are created.
When you dig up dirt it's your hands to be cleaned
When you seek to uncover negative information, it's your responsibility to cleanse your hands.
And you are filthy from the grave you dig
You are tainted by the negativity you unearth.
I am a calloused hand from gripping the rock
I have endured hardships and challenges.
I am short a feathered wing for the flock
I lack something essential for a collective purpose.
But I'm not weathered from your weightless voices bearing witness
However, I am not worn down by your weightless accusations.
I am not a hallow sound or a glorifying light of deeds
I am not an empty or glorifying echo of actions.
And I am not a conscience found reciting lines down on my knees
I am not a conscience merely repeating lines while kneeling.
And there's no mistaking all of you who fake it
No one can mistake those who pretend.
When you dig up dirt it's your hands to be cleaned
When negativity surfaces, it's your responsibility to clean up.
And you are filthy from the grave you dig
You are tainted by the negativity you unearth.
I am a calloused hand from gripping the rock
I have endured hardships and challenges.
I am short a feathered wing for the flock
I lack something essential for a collective purpose.
But I'm not weathered from your weightless voices bearing witness
However, I am not worn down by your weightless accusations.
I am a calloused hand from gripping the rock
I have endured hardships and challenges.
I am short a feathered wing for the flock
I lack something essential for a collective purpose.
But I'm not weathered from your weightless voices bearing witness, your weightless voices bearing witness
However, I am not worn down by your weightless accusations; your weightless voices have no impact on me.
Can we not [7x]
Expressing a desire to avoid division.
Divide?
A plea to not divide.
I am not a barricade
I am not a barrier; I represent a different perspective.
I'm just a different way to think
I provide an alternative way of thinking.
So make no mistake
Do not misunderstand; I am not offensive or blasphemous.
I'm not your profane
I am not something that goes against religious or moral principles.
I am a calloused hand from gripping the rock
I have endured hardships and challenges.
I am short a feathered wing for the flock
I lack something essential for a collective purpose.
But I'm not weathered from your weightless voices bearing witness
However, I am not worn down by your weightless accusations.
I am a calloused hand from gripping the rock
I have endured hardships and challenges.
I am short a feathered wing for the flock
I lack something essential for a collective purpose.
But I'm not weathered from your weightless voices bearing witness, your weightless voices bearing witness
Yet, I am not worn down by your weightless accusations; your weightless voices have no impact on me.
