Material Witness Lyrics

I heard you play a big, fat, mean guitar

You're gonna be a big star

Heard you sing about all the times you failed yourself

And every single person you hate

Who ate shit for being just like everyone else

You still wake up wishing that you were somebody else

You can't shake off feeling like there's somewhere else that you should be

Somewhere just out of reach

Maybe it's simply something wrong with your genes

A million losers but you win the fuck-up lottery

It's gotta be someone, I guess it might as well be me

I'll give you something to see

I still feel the sun shine just for me

It all falls apart in the end

At least that's what I'm designed to believe

Still when I got nothing to eat

I die just like everyone else

It's not the way it seems

Still there's no better tragedy

Than one that's there for all to see

You could say it's a proven strategy

Why can't that be me?

That's how I know I'm alive

Besides the pulsing and the pain in my veins

And the slow decay of my brain

My material witness

Was minding his own business

I'm not saying you did this

Just that you can't undo it
