The Witness
Too much for the bodies of men
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 you get, 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 that you wanted it never comes true
And the bird in the shed, it was looking at you
But you blew off it's head because that's what we do
And I'll always believe in you, endlessly, ooh
