Witness Lyrics

One small thread keeps you hostage
To the better side of death
One small chain a ghost in limbo
It's all for the best
We see your shine
More than the dull you fear
You're a rare kind
If you could see from the outside
To be a witness
To those deep, deep wounds
To resist it
To keep that knife from you
To be a witness
To those deep, deep wounds
To resist it
To keep that knife from you
Second chance to pull you
From the wreckage of your mind
I'll do anything I can
To rip you from the edge in time
We see your shine
More than the dull you fear
You're a rare kind
If you could see from the outside
To be a witness
To those deep, deep wounds
To resist it
To keep that knife from you
To be a witness
To those deep, deep wounds
To resist it
To keep that knife from you

Cover art for Witness lyrics by Zola Jesus

This is what Zola said herself about the song:

"Someone very close to me attempted suicide last summer. At the time, I was stranded at a cabin in the woods. I couldn't reach them. I panicked because I needed them to know how important they were. I did the only thing I could at that moment. I wrote this song for them."
