"Witness Protection" lyrics

"Witness Protection"

Minding my own business
I saw from a distance
Oh, I am a witness
What is this sickness?
I can't resist it
These feelings come, and these feelings go

It's hotter than fuck, it's all over the news
I see it in your eyes
I'm bleeding from the eyes like a virgin Mary
Miles of space to defile
I've been online, you see
With free pornography

I just got the news
Can you buy me some time?
Is it the truth?
I'm next in the line

'Cause now is the time
To testify
Wake from this dream
Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Minding my own business
I see the difference
Ooh, I am the witness
What is this affliction?
In one big band
It swallows the past, I'm afraid to ask

There's a hole in the sky, it's all over the news
I'm looking through a lens
Reflection never ends in a broken mirror

I'll call in the witness
To take a stand
To take a stand

It isn't the truth
Like a clock on the wall
It's 8:45
I'm next in the line

'Cause now is the time
To testify
Wake from this dream
Wipe the dust from your eyes

I'm a body builder
I'm a rat, I'm a crook
I'm a witness, and I know the truth

I'm a graveyard shifter
I'm a crown, I'm a cook
I need witness protection, I do
And I know that you've seen it too
Yeah, I know that you've seen it too

I'm a ghost, I'm a vision
A space transmission
I need witness protection, I do
And I know that you've seen it too
Yeah, I know that you've seen it too
