In Vain

(album: The Witness - 2008)

The evidence was there for you to point the finger,
A momentary lapse casts me into oblivion.
Am I wasting all this time
Just trying to find the warmth in your eyes?
I've been holding back myself
But I'm closer to the edge.

Dusk approaches, I'm standing in the city lights.

Am I here in vain?
Did you not hear a word I said
When I asked you, I begged you, to just please let me through.
I have falllen now, will you pick me up again?
In the face of my failures,
I just want you to hear these words.

Forget the obvious mistakes so I can breathe
Let me offer you all that I can give
Don't shut me out again
I'll shake but I will stand
I'm slipping constantly
I've falling off the edge.

Am I here in vain?
Did you not hear a word I said
When I asked you, I begged you, to just please let me through.
I have falllen now, will you pick me up again?
In the face of my failures,
I just want you to hear these words.
