Austin Blanchfill - WHITEWASHED Lyrics

Verse 1

Bible in your hand
But your heart don't move
Quote all the verses
But you twist the truth
Post about grace
But you gossip too
Act holy in public
But I’ve seen the proof

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, the truth comes out
When no one’s around
Got your cross on just to blend
With the crowd
You smile in my face
Then you tear me down
Whitewashed outside
Wearing your own crown

Chorus

I’ve seen the hurt
I’ve felt the pain
From empty words
That sound like faith
You say His name
But live your way
The truth walks in
You turn away
You fake the look
You play the role
But God still sees
Your empty soul
You hide your sin
But wear the cross
You’re dead within
Yeah, you’re whitewashed

Verse 2

You wear the wool
Play the role, play the part
Looking like a sheep
But you hunt in the dark
Quick with the stones
Calling out every flaw
But there’s pride in your heart
Plank in your eye from the very start
Still you preach like you’re set apart
Smile in the light
But you fall in the dark
Polished outside
Whitewashed

Chorus

I’ve seen the hurt
I’ve felt the pain
From empty words
That sound like faith
You say His name
But live your way
The truth walks in
You turn away
You fake the look
You play the role
But God still sees
Your empty soul
You hide your sin
But wear the cross
You’re dead within
Yeah, you’re whitewashed

Bridge

You wear a mask
Put on a show
You fooled me once
But now I know
I gave you trust
You broke it slow
I see the truth
So I’m letting go

Chorus

I’ve seen the hurt
I’ve felt the pain
From empty words
That sound like faith
You say His name
But live your way
The truth walks in
You turn away
You fake the look
You play the role
But God still sees
Your empty soul
You hide your sin
But wear the cross
You’re dead within
Yeah, you’re whitewashed

Outro

Yeah, you're whitewashed
Yeah, you're whitewashed
