"Terrible Mistake" lyrics
I'm beginning to question what they promised me
I'm beginning to recognize that this freedom feels like slavery
Cause when I try to let go of what they hand to me
My hands turn into fists
These chains tighten round my wrists oh
I heard a story about a girl
Our eyes are the same color
Her words painted a different world
That brought freedom like no other oh
Feels like I'm waking up
The fight or flight response is stirring up
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not doomed
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not doomed
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
The cosmos expand at your command
And yet somehow I'm invited in
With a song of love so beyond my soul
How could I ever drink it in oh
My trembling soul
Bows as low as I can go
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not doomed
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not doomed
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
Just take my all
Just Take me over
If I perish, I perish
Just burn me up
Consuming fire
If I survive, I survive
It must true that I have died
But here I am somehow alive
I am your living sacrifice
I don't know how I'm still alive
Just take my all
Just take me over
If I perish, I perish
Just burn me up
Consuming fire
If I survive, I survive
Can it be I've already died
I am your living sacrifice
I don't know how I'm still alive
I am your living sacrifice
Oh your living sacrifice
Oh
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not damned
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not damned
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
It must true that I have died
But here I am somehow alive
I am your living sacrifice
I don't know how I'm still alive
Oh, how I'm still alive
Oh, your living sacrifice
I'm beginning to recognize that this freedom feels like slavery
Cause when I try to let go of what they hand to me
My hands turn into fists
These chains tighten round my wrists oh
I heard a story about a girl
Our eyes are the same color
Her words painted a different world
That brought freedom like no other oh
Feels like I'm waking up
The fight or flight response is stirring up
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not doomed
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not doomed
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
The cosmos expand at your command
And yet somehow I'm invited in
With a song of love so beyond my soul
How could I ever drink it in oh
My trembling soul
Bows as low as I can go
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not doomed
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not doomed
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
Just take my all
Just Take me over
If I perish, I perish
Just burn me up
Consuming fire
If I survive, I survive
It must true that I have died
But here I am somehow alive
I am your living sacrifice
I don't know how I'm still alive
Just take my all
Just take me over
If I perish, I perish
Just burn me up
Consuming fire
If I survive, I survive
Can it be I've already died
I am your living sacrifice
I don't know how I'm still alive
I am your living sacrifice
Oh your living sacrifice
Oh
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not damned
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
They've made a terrible mistake
Misjudging all your motives
We're not damned
Our father's fate
God rest his soul
You show them
It must true that I have died
But here I am somehow alive
I am your living sacrifice
I don't know how I'm still alive
Oh, how I'm still alive
Oh, your living sacrifice
