He's on my window ledge Not bird not god not from the dead He's working on my heart And he's sleeping in my bed He played this trick on me I can't see him in the daylight I only hear him say Wait for dark and I might show I might show And I might sink I might lay my head upon your breast Take a breath, hold my hand Take this love It's heaven blessed He can walk on water He doesn't make a sound He's on my back tied and bound Say don't Go away go go away I'm gonna shed my witness Shed my witness Blood and bones kept me here Corridors, familiar trees And mother says expose yourself To ward off this complacency I thought if I keep my door shut All I have would be my own If I keep the only key Buried deep beneath this home He can walk on water He doesn't make a sound He's on my back tied and bound Say dont Go away go away I'm gonna shed my witness Shed my witness Oh the light is over me tonight Bring me whisper without words Berries from winter woods Lay me down in tangled vines Say your first child will be mine Bring me immortality Weightlessness and second sight Take me elbow fist and knee Hold these hands with all your might He can walk on water He doesn't make a sound He's on my back tied and bound Say dont Go away go away I'm gonna shed my witness Shed my witness Don't wanna shed my skin Shed my skin Shed my skin I'll shed my skin
