fly on the wall

Verse:
Your apathy is a disease
Infecting you but killing me
I fought to keep my empathy
And it cost me

So confident you know what’s right
Like you ever showed up to this fight
The nightmare in my sleepless night
Oh, it haunts me

Chorus:
I was a fly on the wall of a world burning
So God damn, I’ll be damned, I’ll be damned
If you say it’s still turning
In the depths of it all
Have lessons I’m still learning
But there’s an innocence in me
Lost, not returning

Verse:
It’s easier to just ignore
The hardest cause worth fighting for
But the hatred’s knocking at my door
Don’t you hear me?

If I give all my humanity
Til I’m just a silhouette of me
Internal wounds for all to see
Would you trust me?

Chorus:
I was a fly on the wall of a world burning
So God damn, I’ll be damned, I’ll be damned
If you say it’s still turning
In the depths of it all
Have lessons I’m still learning
But there’s an innocence in me
Lost, not returning

Bridge:
I never chose this for myself
Swept up in someone else’s storm
Been reaching out for help
'Cause my helping hand’s too tired to hold on

Chorus:
I was a fly on the wall of a world burning
So God damn, I’ll be damned, I’ll be damned
If you say it’s still turning
In the depths of it all
Many lessons I’m still learning
But there’s an innocence in me
Lost, not returning
