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
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

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."
