There's a story that's been in my life
And I've taken it as gospel sure as the day
But now I'm starting to see that it's just an invention
That really wasn't about me
And I'd like to kick it to the corner
But it's hard to eject a tape that's played forever so

I need to be the witness to stop this crime
Cause the criminal inside me has lost her mind
All the things she tells me well they're all lies
So I gotta be the witness to cut this evil vine

I've been playing the part of a prisoner
In a fable created by none other than me
And my mind, well she's more than just dirty
She's a rascal who's set on setting fire to all
That I've learned
I've earned the wisdom of this story
Too many times
I'm starting to get angry so

I need to be the witness to stop this crime
Cause the criminal inside me has lost her mind
All the things she tells me well they're all lies
So I gotta be the witness to cut this evil vine

The war is over
There is nothing left to say
The pile driver's got to quit
And it's gonna happen today
I will crack the motor
Jam my stiletto into that machine
Yeah I took the power
Got to kick myself out of the dream

I need to be the witness to stop this crime
Cause the criminal inside me has lost her mind
All the things she tells me well they're all lies
So I gotta be the witness gotta be the witness
To stop this evil

Need to be the witness to stop this crime
Cause the criminal inside me has lost her mind
All the things she tells me well they're all lies
So I gotta be the witness gotta be the witness
To cut this evil vine
