...and counting...

type and backspace and retype and retrace
capture the criminal the one who said he couldn't bear the thought
of your suffering but didn't mean a single thing
every time you dream up a monster it's you
every time you run for cover it's you
the time to face your captor is long overdue
you don't like the way this sounds but you know it's true
truth hurts on some occassions like a banged up knee
that has suffered more than abrasions
you were torn limb for limb
and when they asked you who to blame
you said you couldn't place the name
and that it had been pretty dim
give yourself a hard look and tell me that ain't him
you got a right to resist your own arrest
i was the only witness, well the only one to attest
you can fool the jury but as you should have guessed
you can't fool me
i am like a brother and you are like a friend
but for your own protection i'll have to turn you in
you can hate me if you want to but i hope you'd never want to
because i may be replaceable but there's no replacing you
the time to face your captor is still long overdue
i hope you will
