Oil (Band) - Open Wound

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse 1 ★
Just like a free-for-all
The way you hold yourself
You think that everybody owes you
That you deserve more than you have

★ Verse 2 ★
It's just the void in your life (Consuming you)
The empty heart that suffers
There are no words you can relate to
Without exploiting views of others

★ Chorus 1 ★
(It's here and now)
The time for you to realize
You think (You need it)
You feel (You've earned it)
Your greed: His blood can heal your wounds
You think (You need it)
You feel (You've earned it)
Your greed: His blood can heal your wounds

★ Verse 3 ★
It's like an open wound
The hole inside your heart
Jesus' blood is still the answer
His blood you still ignore

★ Verse 4 ★
There is no way around it (Now you must choose)
It's time to make your decision
You're either with Him or against Him
You either love Him or reject Him

★ Chorus 1 ★
(It's here and now)
The time for you to realize
You think (You need it)
You feel (You've earned it)
Your greed: His blood can heal your wounds
You think (You need it)
You feel (You've earned it)
Your greed: His blood can heal your wounds

★ Chorus 2 ★
(It's here and now)
The time for you to realize
You think (You need it)
You feel (You've earned it)
Your greed: His blood can heal your wounds
You think (You need it)
You feel (You've earned it)
Your greed: His blood can heal your wounds
You think (You need it)
You feel (You've earned it)
Your greed: His blood can heal your wounds
You think (You need it)
You feel (You've earned it)
Your greed... is like an open wound
