Savant - Intellectual

[Instrumental Intro]

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

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

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

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

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
