The Witness

Lyrics for The Witness

Too much for the bodies of man The air burst as it split The many faces in binary clouds A whirlwind of their tears There was blinding light There was water falling How could I know that? How could I know that If I wasn't there? The people climb in a pillar of joy The palaces burnt to glass I saw it all from my shattering window And then I fell back to sleep There was blinding light There was water falling How could I know that? How could I know that If I wasn't there? And you're wondering if it would all be the same If the pattern was different and you never got made If you stood up in school and just burst into flame And the closer it gets, you are falling away There was blinding light There were many eyes How could I know that? How could I know that If I wasn't there? And the way you wanted it never comes true And the bird in the shed, it was looking at you But you blew off its head because that's what we do And I always believe in you endlessly Endlessly Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
