    Lyrics

    Bystanders - Moses Sumney

    ...


    Oh

    You wanna strip away

    Veracity is great

    But you'll bleed

    And all

    For a lukewarm embrace

    You serrate your face

    With glee


    Don't waste your candor

    On bystanders

    They'll watch you waste, waste, waste, waste away


    What's the use of confessing the truth

    To an executioner in a booth

    About the dueling forces in you?

    Now you barely remember your youth

    You used to embrace the eerie and helm

    Visitations from spirit realms

    Gifted to see between astral planes

    Now you plead to be plain


    A bystander

    Of bygone standards

    They'll watch you waste away, waste away, waste away, waste away

    Don't waste your candor

    On bystanders

    They'll watch you waste away, waste away, waste away, waste away

    (Waste away, waste away, waste away)


    (They'll watch you waste away, waste away, waste away)

    The minute you mitigate your fire (Waste away, waste away, waste away)

    The innocence of carnal desire (Waste away, waste away, waste away)

    Is stolen (Waste away, waste away, waste away)

    It's stolen (Waste away, waste away, waste away)


    And it's true that the truth gives you free

    But when truth is a breach of decree

    Dying for praise from a gallery

    Whose morality is grey

    And they tie all their stones to your name

    And they cripple your bones with their shame

    Honesty is the most moral way

    But morality is grey
