The Witness

Under The Flood The Witness Lyrics
1.In Vain

Lyricist:Dave Nadolski, Matt Nadolski

The evidence was there for you to point the finger
A momentary lapse cast me into oblivion
Am I wasting all this time just trying to find the world in your
eyes?
I've been holding back myself but I'm closer to the edge

Dusk approaches, I'm standing in the city light

Am I here in vain? Did you not hear a word I said?
When I asked you, I begged you, to just please let me through
I have fallen now, will you pick me up again?
In the face of my failures, I just want you to hear these words

Forget the obvious mistakes so I can breathe
Let me offer you all that I can give, don't shut me out again
I'll shake but I will stand, I'm slipping constantly
I'm falling off the end

Am I here in vain? Did you not hear a word I said?
When I asked you, I begged you, to just please let me through
I have fallen now, will you pick me up again?
In the face of my failures, I just want you to hear these words

Am I here in vain? Did you not hear a word I said?
When I asked you, I begged you, to just please let me through
I have fallen now, will you pick me up again?
In the face of my failures, I just want you to hear these words


2.Blown Away

Lyricist:John Mccleary, Dave Nadolski

You see me down of everything
You left me standing all alone
Just to save your innocent self
(You push me closer to the edge)

You can't stand alone, no
You couldn't even stand to fall
And now I suffer while you walk

You've crossed the line

Blown away, I can't see where it all went
Blown, thrown away, all of the things
That you had already meant to say
My mistake for always trusting in you
And never questioning your intent
Such a shame, but I'll weigh it all out in the end

I'm finding it easier to breathe
With this cage surrounding me
The gentle tapping feels so sweet

I think of all the times about
All the times you let me down
My sentence has been reduced but I'll wait

You're out of time

Blown away, I can't see where it all went
Blown, thrown away, all of the things
That you had already meant to say
My mistake for always trusting in you
And never questioning your intent
Such a shame, but I'll weigh it all out in the end

You said don't go, I need you so bad
I'm hopeless and I can't hold it all on my own
I've tried to listen certain final words and now I'm

Blown away, I can't see where it all went
Blown, thrown away, all of the things
That you had already meant to say
My mistake for always trusting in you
And never questioning your intent
Such a shame, but I'll weigh it all out in the end


3.Endless

Lyricist:Dave Nadolski, Matt Nadolski

Lying face down
Afraid to close my eyes
See your face now
As the light turns out

God knows I try
But I keep setting myself to fail
I changed my mind

So I let go of my wanted pride
I know that it's too late
And I break down

All alone now
The candles fading out
Should've known how
To separate my doubt
Awaiting this night

So I let go of my wanted pride
I know that it's too late
And I break down

I couldn't save the one
That I always loved
I'm dying each day
That you're away

You shine your light
But I lost my way
And I can't breathe

All alone now
The candles fading

So I let go of my wanted pride
I know it's too late
And I'll break down

I couldn't save the one
That I always loved
I'm dying with each day
That you're away

I'll let it go, all of my pride
I know it's too late
And I'll break down

Couldn't save the one
The one I always loved
I'm dying with each day
Each day that you're away


4.The Witness

Lyricist:Dave Nadolski, Matt Nadolski

I shed some light
Into this hopeless mess
Shield the most innocent eyes
Precious witnesses

Don't watch I'm slipping
I'm loosing sight of myself
Feels like the first time
And I don't want you to see me like this

'Cause this life won't go on and on
And it's not we're trying to live
A life that's greed
And frowns your countenance
Leaving you alone and desperate

Turn the light on
Answer my darkest hour
You let your demons slip away
Unaccounted for

Don't watch, I'm falling
I'm loosing part of myself
This is the last time
That you will ever see me like this

This life won't go on and on
And it's not we're trying to live
A life that's greed
And frowns your countenance
Leaving you alone and desperate

All of the faces I have seen
Dark silhouettes abandon me
Those are eyes, now let me see
All of the lies that we miss

'Cause this life won't go on and on
And it's not we're trying to live
A life that's greed
And frowns your countenance
Leaving you alone and desperate

All of the faces that I've seen
Dark silhouettes abandon me
And the thought of you
Makes me let it go, let it go


5.Open Me Up

Lyricist:Brian Craddock, David Nadolski, Will Reed

How can I see, shadowed ambiguity?
With these eyes deceived and bring my mind into obscurity
Can't find that memory, awake in a dream
Please release my hand, it's not painful, smile

'Cause you open me up
You take what's inside
Never know how I feel about you
Everything inside it turns blue, are you on my side?

Trying to breathe, forgive and it just strangles me
Can't keep my head above your flood of insecurities
Watch the wrong frame, I need to get away, can I slip away?
It's not the same 'cause you're a fake, beautiful mistake
I'll never make the same mistake

'Cause you open me up
You take what's inside
Never know how I feel about you
Everything inside it turns blue, are you on my side?

I'm broken and desperate
You're lost and dead inside
You needed this to happen to satisfy denial

'Cause you open me up
You take what's inside
Never know how I feel about you
Everything inside it turns blue, are you on my side?


6.Signs

Lyricist:Brian Craddock, David Michael Nadolski, Matthew Joseph
Nadolski

Are you too blind
To see this timid lie?
Weak from flight
Caress the oblivious

Poisoned pair
Seduced you unaware
Latch on in fright
And feed my molded mind

Direct me 'til I fall right into line
Perfect me 'til I become your design

Chilling night
Dragged you in the light
What a sight
Abrasive fallen life

Absent eyes
Never saw your crime
Building walls
Composed betrayal

Direct me 'til I fall right into line
Perfect me 'til I become your design

I know you're starving for someone
Who will carry you from all your sorrows and shame
Signs show us beauties tragedy
Muscled happiness will lead to painful misery

You're like a leech to me
I know you've lied a thousand times
You can't stop yourself from dragging down
I won't let him fall

I know you're starving for someone
Who will carry you from all your sorrows and shame
Signs show us beauties tragedy
Muscled happiness will lead to painful misery


7.Remedy

Somebody Listen
Please I'm desperate.
It's silent on the surface
A perfect planted memory
Hopeless to reason
Content don't compromise
This painful illusion
Is bleeding through the other side.
Feel it coming over you
Swarming to cover up the truth
Tempting to feed upon a lie
I've come to let you see.

You won't stir while I kneel
But I will push them all aside I've come to clear the way
And It Sounds like you're trembling now
It's time to muddy up the waters find the remedy.

Somebody wake the others
Rouse them with a whisper
This prickling paranoia
Is icing through my veins.
Feel it's better than before
Master is easy to ignore
Steady the ground begins to break
Comfort is taken in the fall
This structure was sacred
To a mind not ready to believe
And the warnings of the ancients
Have led us to the remedy.

You won't stir while I kneel
But I will push them all aside I've come to clear the way
And It Sounds like you're trembling now
It's time to muddy up the waters find the remedy.

Catch another breath before you try to compromise and
say how hard it was for you to identify
I wish you could have seen the look in your eyes when
you looked at me and saw that I was your remedy.

You won't stir while I kneel
But I will push and clear the way
And It sounds like you're trembling now
It's time to muddy up the waters find the remedy.

Somebody wake the others
Rouse them with a whisper
This prickling paranoia has led us to the remedy


8.The Bottom

It was 5 am and you were
Standing soaking wet outside my door
Let go of your shame dear
Please come in from the storm and I'll explain

Now as I gaze into your eyes
I see inherently nothing
So I'll wait
But you're too close to the bottom
I'm too late, this time

Your shocking stare was uncomprehensive
I could see betrayal in your tears
I'm sorry it's not easy
I'm sorry that you gave it all to me

Now as I gaze into your eyes
I see them flowing like a river
So I'll swim
To keep your head above the water
I'm too late, this time

You would give me your soul
But it would never be enough for me
I blame myself for this pain
I'm letting you know that none of it's your fault.

You're shattered and broken down
Without a sound
Please hold on

You would give me your soul
But it would never be enough for me
I blame myself for this pain
I'm letting you know that
You would give me your soul
But it would never be enough for me


9.Stranded

Thirst for power,
Leaves me stranded,
Cold and helpless,
Scared and lost.

Watch the monster,
Fool the others;
My anger thrilling,
I can see the clear,
Clear.

Burning eyes,
Tearing holes in countless lies,
Never tell them how you dragged me out,
Locked me down in prison now,
Tear out my heart
It's killing me inside
Take back the life
That you stole from me.

Shameless liar,
Evil one,
Prey on the gentle,
Sheeting lust.
Feel the tension,

Snare the wicked,
Witness the end of deceitful lies.
Lies

Burning eyes,
Tearing holes in countless lies,
Never tell them how you dragged me out,
Locked me down in prison now,
Tear out my heart
It's killing me inside
Take back the life
That you stole from me.

Burning eyes,
Tearing holes in countless lies,
Never tell them how you dragged out,
Locked down in prison now,
Tear out my heart
It's killing me inside
Take back the life
That you stole from me.


10.Halos

From the beginning you were dead
Such a pointless life you've led
How many times can you break
(Before you fall apart)
So many ways that I can blame
All of the choices that you've made
How many times must I pray
You'll stay

I know we'll make it out alright
I know we'll somehow make it by...

Running alone and terrified
From all the demons in your mind
How many times will I pray
(I'm down on my knees)
I'm trying to save you from yourself
If you just knew the way I felt
I've struggled constantly but..

I'm finding peace with each day
Hope will help me to wait

I know we'll make it out alright
I know we'll somehow make it by
It's been so hard to see
Blinded by misery
I'll follow you and clear the way
Help fix the life you've thrown away
I see fear in your eyes
Painful truth

Innocence
Breeds halos
The fallen shy
Resistance
To failure
The evil lie...

I know we'll make it out alright
I know we'll somehow make it by
It's been so hard to see
Blinded by misery
I'll follow you and clear the way
Help fix the life you've thrown away
I see fear in your eyes
Painful truth realized...
