Never Purify

Scrape the pain off of my lips and watch our lives unwind
When I am in the camera eye self-immolation can never purify
Look at me, I’m on display
Another animal in this zoo our creator betrayed
If you don’t feel the lesson, you’re blind and deaf my son
But don’t run
Look at me, I’m on the wire
I am not your saviour
I am not your saviour
Look at me, I’m never afraid
I’ll never look back in disdain
