Until I can hold them off for a while, at least till I think of a way To make them see what I gotta show, or to make them feel what I already know Now pour the gas all over me, light a match, say your prayer then set me free Turn your camera's on this burning boy, I'll be the life of an image you can't destroy To see me here is to pass me by, and to watch me live is to watch me die Your conscience ignored, your panic spread You're whimper in the wind that no one saved You crucify what you fear, hold up to the light make it shine The desperation in my eyes is no dim reflection that won't disguise But you never listened, you're afraid to give, now i'm giving up on you To save face and deny you've lost your chance, for a better way, 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 shake your world around, hang me on the wall and I'll bring your hurt down You crucify what you fear, hold up to the light make it shine The desperation in my eyes is no dim reflection that won't disguise But you never listened, you're afraid to give, now i'm giving up this time on you
