“Eyewitness”

September 4, 2008

I still shake in my cover
Shell shocked
A little out of my mind
Don’t want talk

I still shiver at night
My life was in a stranger’s hands
Could have crushed me in your fist
Wish you would have

I relive it
Everyday
No matter what happens
You’ve scared me

I hold you
Accountable for every bad thing
Never want to know you
I want you off of me

I still shake in my cover
Burned out
Everyone else’s world
Goes ‘round

I still shiver at night
Afraid to sleep
I cannot dream anymore
nightmares are part of me

Don’t know your name
Don’t want to
Don’t care who wins
I lose

The duct tape
Isn’t holding me
In that cold room
I cry softly

I’m an eyewitness
Saw it start to finish
Stayed even longer
To know that it ended

I’m an eyewitness
Saw how it played out
And the sirens
Are chasing you now
Are chasing you now
Are chasing you now
Are chasing you now
