about

The title track relates to the idea of a person being a “witness” for their faith, but instead they find themselves being judged or subjected to forms of religious trauma. It also relates to someone who has left behind a bad or abusive situation, but is still haunted by what they endured, the past that they continue to witness in their mind.

lyrics

WITNESS
I always thought I’d be the one to leave you

In the morning, without a word.

I never meant to disappoint or grieve you,

You’ve been gone for years. There’s not a day it don’t hurt.



CHORUS

I’ve learned your lessons well, got a tale to tell,

And I’ll be your witness, I’ll be your witness.

I’m doing fine, got a life that’s mine,

But I’m still your witness, I’m still your witness.

Hey, hey, hey.



Won’t take the simple road and say you never loved me,

‘Cause I think you tried. I think you tried.

But that moral that you put so far above me,

It was just a lie, your alibi.



I'm always gonna look for all the pieces of you that lie,

Deep in my bones.

And when you surface there, I’ll say I’m sorry,

I don’t have to be right, I don’t have to be strong.
