  • Don't see you ever do without
    Leper
    Forced to feel pitiful,and how clever
    You call him pretty and blessed child

    Now see how the pretty boy runs wild
    It's just an ordinary day
    I know how to fix you if you come my way
    You are the proud and simple man

    Now run as fast as I know you can
    Trick me with your deaf dumb and blind
    Feigned hero daily disguise
    It's just like every other day

    But I know how to fix you if you come my way
    Pull out your teeth and stare
    With your hands at your share
    Pull out your eyes and stare

    With your hands at your share
    You are the first one to fall down
    You are the first one to cry foul
    You are the first one to point the blame

    You are the first one to feel ashamed
    Couldn't you help me so that I may believe?
    Couldn't you show me so that I may be saved? Writer/s: BENJAMIN ALLEN WEINMAN, GREGORY JOHN PUCIATO
