Witness Songtext
von Shannon Worrell

He′s on my window ledge
Not bird not god not from the dead
He's working on my heart
And he′s sleeping in my bed
He played this trick on me
I can't see him in the daylight
I only hear him say
Wait for dark and I might show
I might show
And I might sink
I might lay my head upon your breast
Take a breath, hold my hand
Take this love
It's heaven blessed


He can walk on water
He doesn′t make a sound
He′s on my back tied and bound
Say don't
Go away go go away
I′m gonna shed my witness
Shed my witness

Blood and bones kept me here
Corridors, familiar trees
And mother says expose yourself
To ward off this complacency
I thought if I keep my door shut
All I have would be my own
If I keep the only key
Buried deep beneath this home

He can walk on water
He doesn't make a sound
He′s on my back tied and bound
Say dont
Go away go away
I'm gonna shed my witness
Shed my witness

Oh the light is over me tonight


Bring me whisper without words
Berries from winter woods
Lay me down in tangled vines
Say your first child will be mine
Bring me immortality
Weightlessness and second sight
Take me elbow fist and knee
Hold these hands with all your might

He can walk on water
He doesn′t make a sound
He's on my back tied and bound
Say dont
Go away go away
I'm gonna shed my witness
Shed my witness

Don′t wanna shed my skin
Shed my skin
Shed my skin
I′ll shed my skin
