Witness

Expose me for all that I am

The man behind the masquerade

I am my own false witness

Fact resides solely in the depths of my mind

And will I ever really let it come to surface?

You only see what I want you to see

And you believe all that you're told

Serenity is a beautiful hoax a liar

I have the whole world convinced of my contentment

No truth in this, I've lost count of all the times

I made it home alive and wished I hadn't

Expose me for all that I am

The man behind the masquerade,

I am my own false witness

I'm left to conquer the mountains in my mind,

And I am my maker

Life is what's killing me

I hate the fact that I'm just fine

Forever seeking anything to take responsibility

Life is what's killing me (life is what's killing me)

I hate the fact that I'm alive

Forever searching for my scapegoat

Because I refuse to face reality

At least I can say I tried

To cherish every single day

When I woke up and didn't want to die

I'd work my hands down to the bone

Trying to stay suspended in those specific seconds

But I know I'd just be counting down the minutes

Until I'm miserable again
