Pinetop Seven - Witness lyrics

He staked out a place where the view would be good To watch you fall flat trying to walk in his shoes And laughter it skipped through the trees end to end "It's just a joke, get over it friend" Getting sick in swimming pools, your glory in disgrace What you did to impress him, how he laughed in your face And zero, she sat on the tip of your tongue Had plenty to say but your mouth had gone numb You were hoping he'd get his someday You were hoping it'd hurt the same way, how was that wrong? He'd lay out your faults with unusual charm "You're weak" as he looked at the scars on your arm And his lips curled up in a smile end to end "It's ok to cry, I'm here for you friend" You were hoping he'd get his someday You were hoping it'd hurt the same way, how was that wrong? You laid awake nights, your head burned, fists tight You prayed you'd be there the day he got his The word to police was he died in his sleep The reverend's reunion 'tween shepherd and sheep And the church bells ring but you don't hear the sound And you're pushed aside as they carry him out...
