Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Here I can hold them off for a while At least till I think of a way To make them see what I gotta 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 Be the life of an image you can't destroy [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] 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 a whimper in the wind that no one said [Chorus] You crucify what you fear Hold it up to the light, and make it shine The desperation in my eyes is no dim reflection, I won't disguise But you never listened, too 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 Ugh Ah [Bridge] 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 your world around Hang me on your wall, and I'll bring your hurt down [Chorus] You crucify what you fear Hold it up to the light, and make it shine The desperation in my eyes is no dim reflection, I won't disguise But you never listened, too afraid to give Now I'm giving up this time on you
