How It Sets You Free

Verse 1: Gable Price
Two birds, one stone
One shot, I’ve thrown
Both these wrongs don’t make us right
And so it goes, I suppose, we sunk to this low tonight

Pre-Chorus: Gable Price
They say the truth will set you free
Maybe, possibly

Chorus: Gable Price
But not before it rips your chest out
And not before it puts your back against the wall
There’s a painful coalition, a cardiac collision involved
That’s how it sets you free

Verse 2: Jon Foreman
Two eyes shut tight
Two hands to block the light
Otherwise we just might see
And you and me will be forcibly set free

Pre-Chorus: Jon Foreman
They say the truth will bring you to your knees
That might make me a better me

Chorus: Gable Price, Gable Price & Jon Foreman
But not before it rips your chest out
And not before it puts your back against the wall
There’s a painful coalition, a cardiac collision involved
The truth might set you free
But first, it’s gonna set fire to your house
It takes what you’ve been trusting, breaks it down to nothing at all
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Bridge: Gable Price, Jon Foreman, Both
Say hello to honest weather
Say goodbye to make-believe
We’ve been saved from our pretenses
By the skin of missing teeth
Eyes wide open here together
Maybe you and me could be
Uncomfortably, reluctantly
Inconveniently released

Verse 3: Gable Price
One bird, two wings
One you, one me
I don’t know what I don’t know
But all I know is I got no stones left to throw

Pre-Chorus: Gable Price
What’s the point of living comfortably
If what doesn’t kill you sets you free?

Chorus: Gable Price, Gable Price & Jon Foreman
But not before it rips your chest out
And not before it puts your back against the wall
There’s a painful coalition, a cardiac collision involved
The truth might set you free
But first, it’s gonna set fire to your house
It takes what you’ve been trusting, breaks it down to nothing at all
That’s how it sets you free

Outro: Jon Foreman
Oh, that’s how it sets you free
Oh, that’s how it sets you free
