Switch Drops
grovel in the debris
in a hurry
as you scurry
do you want lies to peg
do you have any guilt
as you sift through my silt
do you want me to beg
ask so many questions
learning lessons
growing up but learning so many lies
hold myself together
pull the lever
feel a shock shivering in demise
do i kiss death
as you turn out my lights
am i impaled
am i a martyr tonight
understand the future
understand the past
my ankles and wrists
clasped in an iron cast
do you want me to beg
for the chamber or chair
do you want to watch
as i clutch for air
do i kiss death
as you turn out my lights
am i impaled
am i a martyr tonight
am i a martyr tonight
who casts the first stone tonight
you want me to beg
rather gnaw off my own leg
you just want my demise
you pull your hate crime
watch as i wrongly serve time
tell so many lies
death sentence day turns to night
death sentence like a strobe light
you know i've done nothing wrong
death sentence gallows so bright
death sentence knows that i'm right
all along
i'm right
am i a martyr tonight
who casts the first stone tonight
death sentence take my last breath
redemption comes from my death
i'm not enough of a man
so do not call me martyr
a burden i have to haul
wrongly convicted of all
like writing up on a wal
l i'm ready for my curtain call
do i kiss death as you turn out my night mare
will the witch hunt end when i ride in the chair
you'll need others to burn
at your stake at night
you'll need others to hang or lynch
am i right
you know that i'm right
am i a martyr tonight
who casts the first stone tonight
you know that i'm right
