_{this is how it will be:

we will go out there holding hands
and they will throw sticks and
stones to break our bones and then
we will smile and keep our hands
because we will save each other.
don't frown on the inside. i'm
already crying, so you need to smile.

then they will light a fire
beneath us and we will laugh; what more
could fire do to us? hold my hand
while we burn, i might be scared
underneath. you're better at
this than i am. i plan. you
smile. you're for the cameras.
i'm for the rebels. i'm for us.

and we will go out holding
hands, we will burn holding hands,
we will die holding hands. we will
be the symbol but you are the figurehead,
please hold my hand i'm scared
underneath. please save me. i'm crying.
dying is harder than you might have come to
expect. there you go, smile for
the cameras, and now we catch fire.

i'm crying so you need to smile.}
