lyrics

Intimidating the Witness

Met the bystander, tied up loose ends,
and in spite of all this, we’ve become fast friends.
I trust his judgement. I think it’s sound.
For he knows if he talks, he’ll never be found

Am I the bad guy? Am I what’s wrong…
is society what’s to blame all along?
Don’t want to hurt him. Out of my hands.
He knows what he did, I’m sure he understands.

Following the footsteps of a dance that we perform
Around a story that will never see the press.
Take actions to prevent the need to guess.
Intimidating the witness. Intimidating the witness.

Am I the heavy? Am I no fun?
Just ‘cause I’m the one that does what must be done.
You may think I’m cruel… Some call me mean,
though they brought this on themselves, my conscious clean.

The job is quite a grind, bosses unkind, the hours aren’t great
But the benefits keep me steeped in excess
For causing no small amount of distress
Intimidating the witness. Intimidating the witness.

Balancing my moral compass and the duties of my work
From cruel to kind at times takes some finesse
A childhood of memories to repress
Intimidating the witness

We love each other so you don’t have to…. ... more
