EYEWITNESS by Steven Wilson 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
'Cause we're gonna make it happen anyway
Now take your meds and stay in bed
It's all gonna 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 are 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 suave design)
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)
