Watch It Crash
Dan P. Lyrics

Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear
I woke up in the middle of the night and heard a voice whispering to me

Recanting all my aspirations and my fears
The voice was reminding me of my hopes and worries

And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared
By morning, the voice was gone

But it would linger on for years
However, it would continue to affect me for a long time

It said "We can′t just blame it on our mothers
The voice warned against blaming our problems solely on our parents

Claim everything they did was always wrong"
We can't say that everything they did was a mistake

And there ain't no turning back when our train is off its track
Once we are off course, we can't undo what has been done

And there′s nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)
All we can do is sit back and witness the consequences

And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long
When the end is near, morality no longer matters

And there′s nothing we can do but watch it crash
Again, we are helpless to prevent the fallout

So mercy, mercy, mercy me
We beg for forgiveness and compassion

Praying for the death of a man I′ll never meet
We hope that someone who has caused harm will meet their end

Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe
Even if the facts are clear, people may choose to ignore them

That′s all they came for, that's all they took
They were only interested in one thing and left with just that

That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks
Because of our disappointments, all we could do was scowl

And when they realized we'd given all we could
Eventually, they understood that we had nothing else to give

That's when they finally understood
At that moment, they grasped the situation

Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see
We are tormented by regrets of experiences we will never have

Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak
We feel remorse for the things we were unable to express

And there ain′t no right and wrong when we know it won't be long
When the end is nigh, there is no clear right or wrong decision

And there′s nothing we can do but watch it crash
Again, we are helpless to prevent the fallout

Watch it crash, and there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
A repetition and emphasis of the previous line
