Bystanders |
| You wanna strip away |
| Veracity is great |
| But you’ll bleed |
| And all |
| For a lukewarm embrace |
| You serate your face |
| With glee |
| Don’t waste your candor |
| On bystanders |
| They’ll watch you waste, waste, waste, waste away |
| What’s the use of confessing the truth |
| To an executioner in a booth |
| About the dueling forces in you |
| Now you barely remember your youth |
| You used to embrace the eerie and helm |
| Visitations from spirit realms |
| Gifted to see between astral planes now you plead to be plain |
| A bystander |
| Of bygone standards |
| They’ll watch you waste, waste, waste, waste away |
| Don’t waste your candor |
| On bystanders |
| They’ll watch you waste, waste, waste, waste away |
| The minute you mitigate your fire |
| The innocence of carnal desire |
| Is stolen |
| It’s stolen |
| And it’s true that the truth gives you free |
| But when truth is a breech of decree |
| Dying for praise from a gallery |
| Whose morality is grey |
| And they tie all their stones to your name |
| And they cripple your bones with their shame |
| Honesty is the most moral way |
| But morality is grey |
