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?

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

Make me a witness Take me out Out of darkness Out of doubt I won't weigh you down With good intention Won't make fire out of clay Or other inventions Will we burn in heaven Like we do down here Will the change come While we're waiting Everyone is waiting And when we're done Soul searching As we carried the weight And died for a cause Is misery Made beautiful Right before our eyes Will mercy be revealed Or blind us where we stand Will we burn in heaven Like we do down here Will the change come while we're waiting Everyone is waiting Will we burn in heaven Like we do down here Will the change come while we're waiting Everyone is waiting

Cleaning my car out and I found the card that you gave me My 23'rd birthday, covered in coffee stains Heard you kissed someone just to get it out of your system And I wish that I had more to say but I don't I'm glad you learned how to talk But I don't wanna listen You can keep all my friends And I'll keep my distance Take another shot at me, it's obvious it's all for me But I'm still indifferent Do what you need to get over me But I won't be your witness You're seven blocks from me, I try to deal with it quietly I wouldn't do what you're doing to me I know that you always need to feel seen But I can't give you what you need I'm glad you learned how to talk But I don't wanna listen You can keep all my friends And I'll keep my distance Take another shot at me, it's obvious it's all for me But I'm still indifferent Do what you need to get over me But I won't be your witness Go right ahead, kiss my friends I don't wanna know how you've been But I'll hear it from them How you go through the motions of Moving on often, you want a reaction But I won't, no, no But I won't But I won't, no, no But I won't, no, no But I won't But I won't, no, no I'm glad you learned how to talk But I don't wanna listen You can keep all my friends And I'll keep my distance Take another shot at me, it's obvious it's all for me But I'm still indifferent Do what you need to get over me But I won't be your witness And I wish that I had more to say But I don't
