The Witness

Shed some light into this
Hopeless mess
Shield the most innocent eyes
Precious witnesses
Don't watch I'm slipping
I'm losing sight of myself
Feels like the first time
And I don't want you to see
Me like this

Cause this life won't go on and on
And it's not worth trying to live
A lie that's beating down your countenance
Leaving you alone and desperate

Turn the light on into my
Darkest hour
Can't let your demons slip away
Unaccounted for
Don't watch I'm falling
I'm losing part of myself
This is the last time
That you will ever see
Me like this

Cause this life won't go on and on
And it's not worth trying to live
A lie that's beating down your countenance
Leaving you alone and desperate
All of the faces that I've seen
Dark silhouettes abandon me
Those hollowed eyes have let me see
All of the minds that need release
