our house wrapped in disrepair,

a small mouse peeked out from a hole beneth the stairs

nearby to where my dad sat in his favorite chair,

thinking about the gov't and muttering a prayer

so I scattered some oats in hopes she'd stay

and sat still to stop from scaring her away-

but she hurried on her little way

and scurried around my mind

ever since,

every day

open wide my door, my door, my Lord

(open wide my door)

to whatever makes me love You more

(open wide my door)

while there's still light to run towards

Like water, on the dry wood

equal parts misguided and misunderstood

but all the neighborhood

watched a fire burn from where they stood

as the smoke said

"we're not half as bad as God is good"

still there's a whisper in my ear,

the voice of loneliness and fear, so I say:

"devil, disappear!

I'm still technically a virgin

after 27 years-

which never bothered me before,

what's maybe 50 more?"

she came back for the oats

(this never ends)

but she brought along a "friend"

(this never ends)

the harder the rain,

the lower the flowers in the garden bend

(this never ends)

I'd rather never talk again

(this never ends)

than to continue to pretend

that this never ends.

(this never ends)

I'm a Christian, and I agree with your opinion on most Christian music. It really does, from a musical standpoint, completely suck balls (on average). Mewithoutyou is a brilliant band, with good music regardless of its religious content; for the Christians, it's hope that religious music can also be beautiful and skilled.

I'm an atheist as well. This band is awesome, as well as many other Christian bands like Emery as an example. Good music is good music. :)

Epic. One of Taylor York's faves.

For those who have a problem with the religious content- I'm an atheist and usually despise Christian music based on its suck factor, but the honesty and Passion of this band is well beyond that soft, stoic, redundant ass kissing that defines most modern Christian music. This band is brilliantly honest and not preachy, but self reflective. I respect them for that, my complete lack of religion aside. They're genuine, and I won't hate on that.

you know, i appreciate the musical and lyrical ability, but the spirit of the song...seems a bit like despair...my soul doesn't need that. but i like the rawness of it.
