[Verse 1]I know exactly where I was when IFirst saw you the way I see you now, through these eyesWaiting to retryThose pristine days I recall so fondlySo few are trials when a life isn't lonelyAnd now if onlyI'd never felt it, I'd never heard itI know I loved you, did I even deserve itWhen you returned it?There's no suspicion, no hesitationBelieving through the eyes of sure adoration[Chorus]Witness and know, fracture and hurtEyes in the fire, blink unrehearsedShield like a house closing its doorsCurved in the dark, rinses of yours[Verse 2]Ashtray is crowded, bottle is emptyNo music plays and nothing moves without driftingInto a memoryBusy apartment, no room for grievingSink full of dishes and no trouble believingThat you are leavingMid-sentence tremors, mind at its weakestOne way of shaking off the thoughts that it sleeps with[Chorus]Witness and know, fracture and hurtEyes in the fire, blink unrehearsedShield like a house closing its doorsCurved in the dark, rinses of yours[Mellotron Solo][Verse 3]In walks the darkness, I pitch without youAsks me do I realize what I'd done and who I'd done toIndeed I do knowIt never leaves me, just visits less oftenIt isn't gone and I won't feel its grip softenWithout a coffinBreathing beside me, feeling its warmnessPhantom affection gives a human performance[Chorus]Witness and know, fracture and hurtEyes in the fire, blink unrehearsedShield like a house closing its doorsCurved in the dark, rinses of yours
