Witnesses
We were young at heart, but stupid just below the skin
A courage used is a conscience abused.
Driving off the edge to end it all,
we're through with the life we've had handed to each of us.
My bed-side manner could use a little advancement
My bitter ruse is nothing more than what I've been known for
I live right next to an empty house,
I'd like to raze it to the ground, breathe in the smoke,
Keep a souvenir, then burn the other empty one to the left of it.
Look how happy you are when I use a louder voice.
Look how happy you are around a certain other boy,
Using a vague personality just to impress him
I am not going to play waiting list ever again.
