BECOMED CHILD WITNESS-

Everythings dark?
Where's the light?
Everybody's wrong!
Whose right?
And I don't know,
which way to go

Release it
Don't quit
Relinquish
Release it 
Receeding
 receiving

I am become a child of witness

Everything covered?
Where is the emancipation?
Everything holy
Where is 
Release it
Don't quit
Relinquish
Release it 
Receeding
 receiving
