you've thrown it all away
you're just floating
and when that mirrorball comes crashing to the ground
you're still thirsting
you've cut the wires
you're just a meteor, passing through
with your eyes full of starlight
and nothing to hold onto
cry out
when your flesh meets the flame
and know in your heart
it didn't have to be this way
you will bow your knee
that's not the question
but will your humbling be by your own choice
or coercion
truth hides
in black hallways
and there it bides it's time
while the snow flies sunday
cry out
when your flesh meets the flame
and know in your heart
it didn't have to be this way
the human flower fades
as the days grow sunny
death and pestilence now drive electric cars
and the exhaust reeks of liberty
rubbing shoulders, but feeling none
now plants and factories can warm the sun
and aborted children line the garbage dumps
what if you were one?
cry out
when your flesh meets the flame
and know in your heart
it didn't have to be this way
cry out...and give him all your pain
