bystander: noun - a person who is present at an event or incident but does not take part; an onlooker
am I alone?
that's how it feels to me
I hear a deafening echo when I scream
but I'm with you and I know you're with me
together we'll take on the fucking world...
...but if we look no further than that
each of us will only ever be a bystander
I can't see who's right in front of me calling my name
what's it going to take
how long are we going to wait
or will we do anything?
no more
there's a wounded world out there
being self-absorbed helps it bleed
for those who suffer more than me
this broken heart is finally breaking free
I can't hear you...
I can't hear anything with my voice obscuring my mind
laying blame
absorbed with shame
there's got to be another way
this is just where we start, not where we end
feeding off ourselves while leaving those in need to fate
cannibalize and ostracize
well good things will never just come to those who wait
there's a wounded world out there
self-righteousness helps it bleed
for those who suffer more than me
this broken heart is finally breaking free
I've had enough
I can't stand still given what's at stake
under the weight of the world
we'll all bend...then break
how can we just talk ourselves up
in the middle of a world which is completely breaking down?
