i choke on the witness while you sit in silence unable to move waiting for one last breath the stillness sets in this numb a quiet comfort becoming free of the pressure watch as you put up a barrier that intervention cutting my words in two you think the bottle can save you but runs empty with guilt open your heart and receive the cure i choke on the witness, while you sit in silence this numb a quiet comfort hands together an emphatic prayer i call for love upon this failure open your heart and receive the cure
