Year of the Witch

I can hear a heartbeat pounding over thunder
Nobody believes in this spell that I'm under
Standing in the back of the crowd
I pretend I'm one of them
But they don't hear the sound
When I look over my shoulder
I grow weak and I get colder and
I know I'm being followed by a shadow
Meant to swallow up

Then rain comes and the crowd moves on
Past the sea of hands waving from the hill
To the rows of chairs waiting to be filled
And I'm anywhere but right here
Go forth and change the world?
How am I to do anything at all
When I can barely move
I can barely crawl
When I'm anywhere but right here?

Let's celebrate the last four years
And applaud our youth and wonder
But while everyone looks to the future
I'll stay stuck on this spell I'm under
When I walk out across the stage
I smile and I wave

Let's celebrate the last four years
And applaud our youth and wonder
While everyone looks to the future
I'll stay stuck on this spell I'm under
