to watch a robbery
[Hannah]
Blood rushes to my ears
I’m muzzled by fear
There you go
Then I froze
You don’t know but I saw you
The bass bumps below
Swallowing the box spring symphony and brilliantly so
No one knows
There you go
I can only watch
And I can’t breathe
It’s like the sight I see is strangling me
Your face then etches in my memory
The bedroom's suddenly some haunted scene
As I watch a robbery, oh
To watch a robbery, oh
[Mr. Porter]
Hannah doesn’t say a word
The vodka steals her eloquence
The evidеnce is in her mind
But is her silеnce also crime?
And if she speaks
If she shrieks the horror behind the door she witnessed
Would they find her methods witless?
All these questions
Then she sits with as she listens
To the million sound waves crashing through her drowned brain
Suddenly she’s lost in profound pain
Somethings breaks...
[Bryce]
I’m done. I walk out the door
Don’t look back
My favorite’s song’s playing down stairs
Justin glares, I don’t care
I just head for the keg
[Justin]
And I’d die to be the guy who saves the day
But I just buckle
Like a coward, a boy
Na na na na na na na na no
I can’t risk falling off my throne
Afraid of falling
But I’m so damn charming
Jess thinks that I’m that guy
[Hannah]
Time resumes
The moment that the thief leaves the room
Jess hasn’t moved
I escape
Into the hall
My stomach shakes
And then it’s all comes up and then I’m empty
This new pain has gotta be
Just a side effect of the guilt you feel
When you watch a robbery, oh
I watched a robbery, oh
