The Witness’ Dull Surprise

Lyrics

Oh well, the rain it never stops here Is it strange that I no longer see the hand in front of my face? Just short of longing for the past And short of asking for forgiveness You read my palm and suggested that I find a new apartment All of our sleepless nights came crashing through the window Now you know What it means to fly Now you understand The witness' dull surprise My dear, just show me where it hurts And I'll draw blood to make it better I will do anything Turns out the man with all the answers Wrote from within the asylum And I guess we should have figured as his poems contained no letters He wrote, "All of my sleepless nights came crashing through the window." Now you know What it means to fly Now you understand With the tears and old acquaintances and waiting for the pulse to quicken Waiting for the day when things turn out as you had imagined, the wait And I had only just begun to speak with my broken memory Oh well, the rain it never stops here Is it strange that I no longer see the palm in front of my face?
