Every once in a while I think I'm lying.
Take it to the bank. I believe every word I say.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
Then again this is when you start your prying.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
But there's a thought it could be true.
But this just isn't how I imagined it would be.
With these random people just asking the most personal things.
And to think that somehow I could always come clean.
And you shake your head just like you know what I mean.
You're a Christian tell the sinner find repentance it's your last chance.
You believer, where's your patience?
Answer questions, put on faces.
What about God? For you and for me.
All have fallen short (To see if it's right or wrong to listen to this song.
I don't want you too. To see if you're okay with all the words I say.
It can't be this way)
Somehow, someone is more equal than others.
Depending on the words we choose to say.
A glance at her too long tonight.
But everything I am saying is right in your ears.
We are all the sisters and the brothers.
Until we find we don't believe the same, like...
Gary is getting drunk to forget Sarah.
Sarah is stealing money from her parents.
Aaron is lying straight to Jon.
About Megan and the things that went on.
Jessica is a gossip, Laura is a slut.
Derrick hits Bridget and Ben deals drugs.
Seth spends all his money gambling.
Joey stopped praying.
It is all the same thing.
We are all the same people.
With sinning hearts that make us equal.
Here is my hand, not words said desperately.
It is not our job to make anyone believe.
Take it to the bank. I believe every word I say.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
Then again this is when you start your prying.

okay i think first off.. right there.. he's talking about.. how people want to get into his buisness.. or your's or whoever's.. and people tryin to pry him of their thoughts/views/religion.. but he or you.. don't really know what to believe.... so you have a thought .. from this other person's prying.. you wondeer, question? but "this isn't how i imagined it to be with these random people just asking the most personal things" like why would you want to get into my buisness and ask me about my personal things.. and try to get me to believe you, when i have my own beliefs? but "they say you're a christian.. tell the sinner to find repentance its your last chance" i think its like saying.. well arn't you christian? if youre a sinner you can find repentance.. to save you from yourself or whatever.. so these people are trying to "save you" maybe if theyre asking.. well arnt you christian.. find repentance.. etc.. like maybe christians kept on asking him, or you or wwhoever .. from the mistakes he made or choices he made.. well this and that.. and pushing it on him.. when you should give him his own time or thought to believe in what he wants to believe in.
"Here is my hand, not words said desperately.
It is not our job to make anyone believe."
and right there.. it says it all. Like...ill take your hand and be with you side by side.. ill be your friend.. i will not follow.. i will not lead.. just stand beside me and be my friend.. you've heard that saying before.. right?? well basically.. he's saying.. we're all the same.. no matter what.. with sinning hearts.. etc.. if we're so stuck.. if we've so called "sinned" and need somewhere to turn.. or need to find something to help us along the way... people can not push their religion onto other people.. but to be there with a helping hand.. and be their friend.. not by your religion.. but as human beings.. we are all the same.
and trsut me ive used to go to christian churches when my mom was married and my aunt in law.. dragged me to church with her.. and while growing up.. i just never really connected to christianity.. and i dont think i ever will.. for some reason i just feel like i dont belong in that area in my lifetime.. i believe in something different.. and i never push what i believe in in other people.. in all my growing up.. ive always seen people try to put their religion with someone else.. and make them believe in something .. but i never liked that.. i found my own way.. and my own beliefs on my own.. and that's the best yet. <3 xoxo

amazing. I always get into stupid arguments about how a band is Christian and this band is Christian.. and haha. always funny when someone says a band is "more" Christian.. xD ok.
well.. these two lines made me respect Emery a bit more..
I dunno.
The bible tells us to judge followers.
Not judge in way of being a jerk and acting pious.
But judge in a sense of bringing our brothers and sisters sin to light so they can see it too and repent and turn back to God.
See it says it in 1 Corinthian 5:12-13, "It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”
It's our responsibility to judge those sinning inside the church.
See?
So we need to bring to light Gary's alcoholism, Sarah's stealing, Aaron's lying, Jessica's slander, Laura's adultery, etc. Just saying it's ok, Jesus loves you isn't enough. Sin is not okay, and yes Jesus loves you but He HATES your sin.
Sin is not okay.
It separates us from God.
Why would you ever want someone you love to be far from God?
And please no arguing, that's not what was meant by this.
If you argue, you're just arguing against the Bible. the scripture's right there..
=/
ps. emery is a cristin band
