Human Performance
[Verse 1] I know exactly, where I was when I First saw you the way I see you now, through these eyes, waiting to retry
Those pristine days I, recall so fondly So few are trials when a life isn't lonely, and now if only
I'd never felt it, I'd never heard it I know I loved you did I even deserve it, when you returned it
There's no suspicion, no hesitation Believing through the eyes of sore, adoration
[Chorus] Witness and know, fracture and hurt Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed Shield like a house, closing its doors Curved in the dark, rinses of yours
[Verse 2] Ashtray is crowded, bottle is empty No music plays and nothing moves with-out drifting, into a memory
Busy apartment, no room for grieving Sink full of dishes and no trouble believing, that you are leaving
Mid-sentence tremors, mind at its weakest One way of shaking off the thoughts that it sleeps with
[Chorus] Witness and know, fracture and hurt Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed Shield like a house, closing its doors Curved in the dark, rinses of yours
[Verse 3] In walks the darkness, I pitch without you Asks me do I realize what I'd done and who I'd done to, indeed I do know
It never leaves me, just visits less often It isn't gone and I won't feel its grip soften, without a coffin
Breathing beside me, feeling its warmness Phantom affection gives a human, performance
[Chorus] Witness and know, fracture and hurt Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed Shield like a house, closing its doors Curved in the dark, rinses of yours
