Steven Wilson - Eyewitness Lyrics

Eyewitness Lyrics

You’re always an eyewitness to Oh all the change all the change Never feeling the pain

You’re never the one to speak up
Oh, keeping quiet, keeping quiet
With a god given right

You’re always the bridesmaid aren’t you?
Yeah, you’re the last to be asked
Never up to the task

You know when to keep your head down
Oh go along with the throng
And you can’t go wrong

Do as you’re told, don’t get involved
(Cos we’re gonna make it happen anyway)
Now take your meds and stay in bed
(It’s all going to happen to you anyway)

You’ll never be hoodwinked will you?
No, won’t decide, won’t decide
Never taking a side

You’re always an eyewitness true
Yeah, laying low, laying low
But you end up alone

Well the world outside it bites
And there and complications that you have no need to fight
(need to fight, need to fight)
And there’s a place where the future hides
(in every stranger’s eyes)

Bearing witnesses
You’re moving at the pace of drifting cloud
Giving nothing back
You’re hiding in plain sight among the crowd

Are you sick of waking up 
To find the world just changed again?
(changed again, changed again)
And it’s got so bad that you can’t figure out
Where to lay the blame?
(lay the blame, lay the blame)
