The Witness - ALAZKA

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
