Witness - Mystery Jets

Morning sky, a storm

Across the great divide

But you and I were born

On the other side

Forsaken cavaliers

Valiantly we ride

We should disappear

Into the night

Into the night

But if we run, run, run, run

We might as well have won, won, won, won

Try as I may but I can’t seem to shake this sickness

I am afraid we’re about to be made to bear witness

To something that they will eventually pray for forgiveness

Try as I may but I can’t seem to shake this sickness

This sickness

Backs against the wall

In tandem, we will sing

On the steps of city hall

From the fall until the spring

From the fall until the spring

'Cause if we run, run, run, run

We might as well have won, won, won, won

Will we be tied to the mast?

Until the bitter end

Till our children rise to bury the past

And forever be condemned

To repeating again

Try as I may but I can’t seem to shake this sickness

I am afraid we’re about to be made to bear witness

To something that they will eventually pray for forgiveness

Try as I may but I can’t seem to shake this sickness

This sickness

This sickness

This sickness, sickness

This sickness

This sick, this sick, this sickness
