Know Me

[00:00.40] I love an object, singular thing
[00:05.86] Carried beside me and flaunted for me
[00:11.21] Well I know I'm not holy, just partially good
[00:16.67] No time for my family, patience to brood
[00:22.03] I want to be a great man
[00:28.38] A hero, a martyr, immortal I'd stand
[00:32.82] Well I haven't the guts to touch lepers or queers
[00:38.24] Though I'm happy to waste away time with you here
[01:18.82] Should I have believed I was still a boy
[01:26.01] Naive and sane, protected wholly
[01:34.16] Tongue-tied and restless
[01:37.86] Breathing of futures
[01:42.35] Know me; I am not a child
[01:51.11] 'Though you have age
[01:54.77] You have not felt the pain...
[02:08.22] Should I have remained obedient and docile
[02:15.49] So far restrained
[02:19.93] The hands that hold me back
[02:24.43] Could break my bones
[02:28.97] As each one snaps
[02:32.59] I hate my home
[02:36.11] Far on my way
[02:39.81] I should know, I was born here
[02:43.42] Know me
[03:00.52] Am I just some fool? am I far from ready?
[03:07.70] Just let me fall and I'll believe you.
[03:14.99] Chained up and pampered I strain until I crack
[03:23.16] Know me before you kill what I want to be
[03:32.16] And leave me cold
[03:36.64] Bled white
[03:40.21] And feeling old
[03:43.87] Far on my way
[03:47.41] I should know, I was born here
[03:50.12] Know me--know all I am
[03:58.24] Far on my way
[04:01.84] I was cold then I exploded
[04:04.51] Know me...
