Offended When I Speak The Truth

(Intro – whispered, ominous)

Yeah…

Oh…

Yeah…

(Verse 1 – restrained, cold, deliberate)

They flinch when I curse, but they sleep through the sin

Turn deaf to the law, let opinions rush in

You shout “watch your mouth,” but don't check how you live

Say I crossed a line, but your heart already did

You bow to convenience, crown it religion

Break commandments daily, calm in your position

Say “God understands,” and let conviction wear thin

Turn Him into a mascot so you’re safe where you’ve been

(Pre-Chorus – low, tense)

You don’t shake when His name gets dragged through the mud

But you rage when I spill a word that a little hard

You ain’t mad at the dark, you’re disturbed by the flood

Truth hits hardest when it shows what you love

(Chorus – heavy, anthemic, chant-like)

You get offended when I say “fuck you”

But don’t blink when commandments break in two

You only stand with what benefits you

Then lose control when the truth comes through

You get offended when I speak the truth

But you need it when it’s useful to you

You don’t want His ways if they cost you

It was never about God — it was always you

(Verse 2 – darker, confrontational)

Fourth commandment buried under busy lives

“Too much going on,” but you find time to decide

What laws feel ancient, what sins feel light

You edit obedience, then call it insight

You hate when I swear, but love it when you twist

Say “don’t judge me,” but coexist with the sin

You bow to your feelings, resist who He is

Call it freedom, not knowing it’s worship of myth

(Pre-Chorus – repeated, controlled)

You don’t shake when His name gets dragged through the mud

But you rage when I spill a word that a little hard

You ain’t mad at the dark, you’re disturbed by the flood

Truth hits hardest when it shows what you love

(Chorus – repeat -stronger emphasis)

You get offended when I say “fuck you”

But don’t blink when commandments break in two

You only stand with what benefits you

Then lose control when the truth comes through

You get offended when I speak the truth

But you need it when it’s useful to you

You don’t want His ways if they cost you

It was never about God — it was always you

(Bridge – spoken, cold silence)

You don’t fear God.

You fear inconvenience.

So you wrote new rules…

And bowed to them.

(Final Chorus – full force)

You get offended when I say “fuck you”

But don’t blink when commandments break in two

You only care for what protects you

Then call it hate when the truth hits you

You wrote your own law, called it the truth

Refused the narrow road, dressed rebellion as new

You don’t walk with Christ, you defend your view

It was never about Him — it was always you

(Outro – distant, hollow)

Yeah…

Oh…

Yeah…
