Witness

I am awake now
I cannot go back to sleep
Consciousness is stealth, on quiet feet it creeps
Once you let it in your house, you cannot get it to leave
I am awake now
I can hear it breathe
The more I learn about food, the less I want to eat
The more I learn about water, the less I want to drink
The more I learn about people, the fewer I want to meet
The more I learn, the less I want to think
I am a witness
I’ll tell you what I have seen
Ignorance is bliss only when you’re fast asleep
Once you let in consciousness, you’ll never want it to leave
I am a witness
This is what I’ve seen
The more I learn about food, the less I want to eat
The more I learn about water, the less I want to drink
The more I learn about people, the fewer I want to meet
The more I learn, the less I want to think
But I cannot starve, die of thirst, be a hermit
And nothing really works when you want to turn off your brain
You gotta be a witness, witness, witness, witness
Be brave enough to say, «this is not the way for me.»
The more I learn about food, the less I want to eat
The more I learn about water, the less I want to drink
The more I learn about people, the fewer I want to meet
The more I learn, the less I want to think
Be a witness, be a witness
You cannot turn off your brain
Be a witness, be a witness
You cannot turn off your brain
Be a witness, be a witness
You cannot turn off your brain
