Lyrics
Witness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One small thread keeps you hostage
To the better side of death
One small chain a ghost in limbo
It's all for the best
We see your shine
More than the dull you fear
You're a rare kind
If you could see from the outside
To be a witness
To those deep, deep wounds
To resist it
To keep that knife from you
To be a witness
To those deep, deep wounds
To resist it
To keep that knife from you
Second chance to pull you
From the wreckage of your mind
I'll do anything I can
To rip you from the edge in time
We see your shine
More than the dull you fear
You're a rare kind
If you could see from the outside
To be a witness
To those deep, deep wounds
To resist it
To keep that knife from you
To be a witness
To those deep, deep wounds
To resist it
To keep that knife from you
