"Witness" lyrics

"Witness"

I know that they all want to see about me
I know what they all want to see about
I know that they all want to see about me

Witness

Well no way
No way
No way

I've already gone there
Now let the crowd say Amen

They come to see what I see
I know they want to feel it like me
I know they want to be in between

Got everybody safe up in my room
Got everybody shaken, when's this over
Not everybody sane up in my room
Won't ever be the same when it's over

If I keep praying will you hear me
Talking loud, don't know what I'm saying but they with me
Harder now, feel just like I'm breaking, what does it mean
All around, everybody flailing but they with me

Tell us now what you saw
Talk about everything
I give it without saving
I give away everything
Like naked now shaking
I'll take it, my gift you see
I'll take it but I'm saying
It costs me more every day

Oh, can everybody witness
What you see in my reflection
I got everybody with me
What you see in my reflection

You wanna see how I see

I know, not for me to take you there
I don't come up when I need some air
Dig down deep all just to lay it bare
I go under then I slip
Like my own shadow

I know that they all want to see about me
I know what they all want to see about
I know that they all want to see about me

Witness

Well no way
No way
No way

Can you see when I slip
Is everybody going with
You want to see about me
I know you want to be my witness
I know you want to be my witness
