Sunburn

Verse 1: WitnessWell is that cloud painted on the sky? Or is it simply where the canvas is blank? I realize as I stand at the banks Of the river at the feet of the city Where I can see the bigger picture And it triggers something deep within me Philly That would be the backdrop Home to a million little cafes With lattes and laptops And that's when I noticed it People only seem to leave their homes To float in daydreams and postpone the loneliness Hook: WitnessBut sunshine don't mean sunburn And a stone is only a stone if you're gonna leave them unturned Some learn just a little quicker than others You've gotta live like you never knew the definition of it And sunshine don't mean sunburn But a stone is only a stone if you're gonna leave them unturned Some learn just a little quicker than others You've gotta love like you never knew the definition of it Verse 2: WitnessI met a girl at the Jersey Shore That wore clip on earrings and stumbled in high heels And no I wasn't sober when she tapped me on the shoulder But I told her that I thought her smile wasn't quite real And it must have been the drinks Cause I ain't that smooth Well it could have been the ink She had a few tattoos But dude it's hard to find a woman at a cover band bar That prefers a conversation to another man's car On the real And maybe all she wanted was a cigarette Or may she was just a shadow in my drunk dream She gave a name and a number that wasn't hers Said we all got a shadow moonlighting as a sunbeam Hook Verse 3: WitnessThey tell me sleep is the cousin of death So I would guess that a dream is the daughter of sleep Sometimes I wonder whether Witness even exists Or if it's just a dream that was caught in the beat They're like kid, you got it going on Tell me that my flow is strong Now I'm in the basement til the break of dawn Making songs Seeking validation from the Hip Hop heads Like the praise and adulation is the only thing I got left But on the surface the water appears still Unaffected by the children skipping stones on it's skin Sometimes I bet it wishes it could just disappear Like a feather in the city being blown by the wind Hook Outro: Witness We all wanna disappear sometimes But we wake up every morning just in case that sun shines
