Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more And break my heart so it looks more like Yours Offend my mind so that I can know You more Offend my mind Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more And break my heart so it looks more like Yours Offend my mind so that I can know You more Offend my mind Ooh, Prophet and a Priest Crucify my disbelief The Diviner reminds me of the hope inside me Ooh, Counter of the stars Resurrect my broken heart The contrast soothes my mind You're the earth that I reside in I break the rules, You break the silence I see the power in Your eyes You're glorious, I'm terrified Grain of sand upon an island Real estate inside Your eyelids I'm a tooth inside the smile I'm a soul You reconcile Would You offend my mind, offend my mind, offend my mind, offend my mind? Would You offend my mind, offend my mind oh? Offend my mind so that I can know You more And break my heart so it looks more like Yours Offend my mind so that I can know You more Offend my mind Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more And break my heart so it looks more like Yours Offend my mind so that I can know You more Offend my mind, offend my mind
