The Witness

The moment I reacted
When I dared to run away
And I’m caught in a sensation
A witness to your closing eyes
Why
Always the innocent
The first to fall
Unable to comprehend
Couldn’t protect
Take your place
Or rewind the time
The hardest part remains
For those left behind
When it’s over
A fading light in you
Don’t wake me up
Til I’m sober
I know we’re incomplete
We’re not okay
I feel disconnected
The smile on your face
I swore I’d protect it
A lie
I can’t
Take the weight of my back
The words that I said
The noose around my neck
Take my light
Too high the price you paid
Tell me how can I
Save a life
If I’m afraid
Cause I’m afraid
So please let me know
When it’s over
A fading light in you
Don‘t wake me up
Til I’m sober
I know we’re incomplete
We’re not okay
No escape from what I’ve done
The moment I reacted
When I dared to run away
And I’m caught in a sensation
A witness to your closing eyes
And no one tells you
How to bear the
Weight of your excuse
Cause we know it’s no use
Take my light
Too high the price you paid
Tell me how can I
Save a life
If I’m afraid
Cause I’m afraid
So please let me know
When it’s over
A fading light in you
Don’t wake me up
Til I’m sober
I know we’re incomplete
We’re not okay
