Avert your eyes from the scene of the crime
Take your bystander guilt and go home for the night
Now we’re all predisposed, to keep our minds closed
Watch the world decompose
And act like we couldn’t have known
Swear to tell the truth
The truth that’s convenient for you
Can you even tell the difference
Between the deceived and the false witness?
Can I trust my survival instinct
Not to sell out my conviction?
What becomes of the silent victim?
Choose to buy in and believe the magic
Place your card in the deck, turn your head for the switch
It’s the choice that you make, picture you frame
Where sadness is masked by the smile on your face
But you still swear to tell the truth
The truth that’s convenient for you
Swear to tell the truth
Can you even tell the difference
Between the deceived and the false witness?
Can I trust my survival instinct
Not to sell out my conviction?
What becomes of the silent victim?
The silence makes me shake
I can’t stop the twitching in my face
It’s a tell, a tell, tell sign
I can’t tell a lie
Lying awake for days at a time
