BYSTANDERS
Oh
You wanna strip away
Veracity is great
But you'll bleed
And all
For a lukewarm embrace
You serrate your face
With glee
Don't waste your candor
On bystanders
They'll watch you waste away
What's the use of confessing the truth
To an executioner in a booth
About the dueling forces in you
Now you barely remember your youth
You used to embrace the eerie and helm
Visitations from spirit realms
Gifted to see between astral planes now you plead to be plain, a
Bystander
Of bygone standards
They'll watch you waste away
Don't waste your candor
On bystanders
They'll watch you waste away
The minute you mitigate your fire (Waste away, waste away waste away)
The innocence of carnal desire (Waste away, waste away waste away)
Is stolen (Waste away, waste away waste away)
It's stolen (Waste away, waste away waste away)
And it's true that the truth gives you free
But when truth is a breach of decree
Dying for praise from a gallery
Whose morality is grey
And they tie all their stones to your name
And they cripple your bones with their shame,
Honesty is the most moral way
But morality is grey

"Honesty is the most moral way
but morality is grey" holy shit
Song of the year already, idc what anyone says. Either this song or Me in 20 years. Incredible Album
No no! Two Dogs is the song of the year, fight me
I disagree with Chris. Song of the year goes to this song. Not a fighter. ✌️
Me in 20 years, yes
literally every line of this song is poetry holy shit???
truly 😩
catch me in the abandonded K-Mart parking lot vibing
This is life saving music. The entire message and delivery. THANK YOU MOSES!! After so many paradoxical social struggles and cyclical conversations, I'd basically gone numb, but at least I dont feel alone anymore. I'm paying it forward and I will thank you face to face one day. ♾💜
Amen and blessings from Jacova born March 11...in Bethlehem...😍☝️☝️😍
God's light shines from you..
Sweet child of the light, remember who you are this too, shall become the light guiding you to transmute all this pain
"A bystander of bygone standards..."😭😭😭😭😭❤❤
I have had found it hard to listen to music lately as my father passed on my birthday not long ago but not before promising me we shall meet again and your essence somehow feels as if my father is speaking through your humble grace
Græ was truly an experience. Every single track is excellence 🔥. But lyrically bystandards is the song I relate to the most. It tells a message most of us wish we'd learned from a bit earlier than we did; however early we may have.
Very well put I agree with every word
His vocals are from the heavenly ancestral realm. 🙏🏿♥️✨
Did you guys realize that the stores that he’s in front of have all gone out of business and now are dilapidated? Where I am, those businesses have shut down and he’s bent over backwards in front of them literally giving his all!!! it really speaks to the artist in him. He left no stone unturned. We’re going to understand this message in every way. He’s a genius!! I needed these messages, straight from Spirit😭
This is divine. Just divine.
The artistry expressed in his music and videos never fails to pulls me into his space. I can't wait for touring to begin again 😣 I just know going to one of his concerts will be an experience
I’m not even done crying over Part 2 and more videos are coming I’ll brace for emotional impact 💛
The voice of an angel ❤️💯every time it’s different & beautiful...
This sound is too good to be this unappreciated.
This is heaven 💚
Congrats on the new album! As someone who grew up in a-ville, it's weirdly beautiful and emotional to see these familiar locations highlighted by an artist of your stature. Thank you! Love you!
brilliance, poetry, magic. im truly speechless, body covered in goosebumps, mind racing.
I love your words as usual😏 always a message🌹... Love that your voice is a gift, and you usually deliver a word... The words remind me of someone on trial, and hardly able to convey the story through which not knowing to trust to tell from the gut-truth or to lie... Or are they already doomed before a word leaves their lips? Are the plans for this person already in motion before they sit before a jury of their peers??? Also could be relative to any form of social media being judged by ppl as well... That's my perception... Love the respectful artistry due to this pandemic... You have always been enough on the screen for my eyes to devour the essence you portray...
I love you Moses. This is your day, I hope you have a good one. You definitely made mine. Thank you!!
I’m wondering if someone else could have put these words together as good as Moses did. I truly love all the poetry in your music and your Art. Regardless your overwhelming voice. Thank you for all that. Really inspiring.
Hat trick of the year goes to: Two Dogs, Bystanders and Me in 20 Years
this song is legendary, defo my favourite song!
His voice is everything 😭❤️
Why are all your songs a spiritual journey 😩
Every single one!!! I’m like…👀👀👀 can you ease up on us? Haha
this song came RIGHT on time 🙌🏿🙌🏿
This song. Wow I am just overwhelmed. True art has amazing power.
So eerie and beautiful.
Highly underrated. The simplicity but profound beauty of this video (and song) are otherworldy
I really hope this video was shot in an all-white area of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi or somewhere like that... I would love to be a fly on the wall in the Dollar General or Kmart manager's office as they review the tape and attempt to decipher the meaning of Sumney's demonstration. Can't stop laughing at the thought. Thank you. "Go down Moses, way over in Egypt's land. Tell ol Pharoah. 'Let my people go!'"
Asheville, NC
Asheville indeed, I could tell you the exact parking lot.
i think i'm in love
No flexing but this was on my recommended videos
And now its on my liked videos
This song makes me feel things I can’t describe. I want to go back in time and hug the younger me
Brilliant and touching... absolutely beautiful as always!!
this poetry is truly a masterpiece. great song
Moses is 🔥 Always! Side note: Where in the hell is there still a Kmart? 🤣
it's in Asheville, NC. Not open tho. All his recent videos are filmed in Asheville. Love that he lives here and seeing all these spots in these videos is a trip.
What a voice 🥰
Amen

I love all kinds of music so I've been going thru all of his... Totally creeped out 🤔. Glad ppl do enjoy his music tho... Proves the world isn't as brain washed as it seems
101st comment June 19th, 2021 at 2:53am, I was here. This is proof that I lived and I onced walked this earth and I loved and laughed and cried. I existed, so before I'm gone I don't want to be a bystander in the background. This is proof I lived.
I love you Moses
Wish I listened this song 20 years ago
THANK YOU
Amazing 😍
Moses: how many circles are you gonna do around me?
Director: Yes.

this is so inspiring
pisses me off how good this is
genious!
Fight the good fight!
I grew up as a Jehovah's witnesses the black sheep within my congregation aka cult now I have my own intimate relationship with the light your voice and message is what each soul needs
I have wasted away while standing in line at many a dollar general in my day. No seriously I totally get this forgetting who we truly are who we really want to be. Why should we apologize for just being.
I ADORE YOU
Yuhhhhh
Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh Asher...I am that I am that...to be written what I am.

Hey Moses! The vinyl pre-order link isn't working ("Page Not Found" on Secretly Store). Would love to add this album to my vinyl collection. Hope you/they can get the link working again soon!
thanks for the heads up. I've fixed the vinyl pre-order link. - M
@@mosessumney thanks, ordered! And thank you for the stories you share, in lyrics, music, and video. Listened to Aromanticism every day for almost a year when I found it. Looking forward to doing that with this album too. If you ever wanna come vibe in Myanmar, you have a place to stay!
NOTICE ME MOSES. NOOOTIIICEE MEEEEEE
