Here I am
I can hold them off
For awhile, at least
Until I think of a way
To make them see
What I've got to show
And to make them feel
What I already know.
Now pour the gas all over me
Light a match,
Say a prayer
And set me free
Turn your cameras
On this burning boy
I'll be the life of an image
You can't destroy.
To see me here is to pass my by
To watch me live is to watch me die
Your conscience ignored,
Your panic spread,
Your whimper in the wind
That noone said.
Crucify what you fear
Hold it up to the light
And make it shine
Desperation's in my eyes
No dim reflection,
I can't disguise
But you never listened
Too afraid to give
Now I'm giving up on me
To save face and deny
I've lost the chance
For a better way.
Assassinate the threat,
Immortalize the corpse
Write a book about the show
And sell it to the source,
Riddle me this, and
I'll share you world
Hang me on your wall
And I'll bring your hurt down.
