Katy Perry - Witness Lyrics






Witness

If I lost it all today, would you stay?
Could my love be enough to stimulate?
If shit hit the fan, grenades got thrown
Would you still show, oh?
Could you go down with me to the mat?
Could we get back up and eventually laugh?
Roll eyes at highs, cheers in the lows, and stay in the flow, oh

'Cause I, I only got this life
And I ain't got the time, no
Not to get it right, oh

We're all just looking for connection
Yeah, we all want to be seen
I'm looking for someone who speaks my language
Someone to ride this ride with me
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Will you be my witness? (Witness)
I'm just looking for a witness in all of this
Looking for a witness to get me through this

When you tell me everything, and there's no holes
You can scroll through anything, you've got the codes
Nothing to hide
It's all in their eyes
And we just know, o-o-o

'Cause I, I only got this life
And I ain't got the time, no
Not to get it right, oh

We're all just looking for connection
Yeah, we all want to be seen
I'm looking for someone who speaks my language
Someone to ride this ride with me
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Will you be my witness? (Witness)
I'm just looking for a witness in all of this
Looking for a witness to get me through this (through this, through this, through this)

Will you be my witness?
Could you be the one that speaks for me?
Will you be my witness?

We're all just looking for connection (we're all just looking)
Yeah, we all want to be seen
I'm looking for someone who speaks my language
Someone to ride this ride with me
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Will you be my witness? (Witness,w ill you be my witness?)
I'm just looking for a witness in all of this
Looking for a witness to get me through this

Oh, ah
Oh, oh
Hey, ah
Oh, hey

Hey Hey Hey

A big beautiful brain with a pretty face, yeah
A babydoll with a briefcase, yeah
A hot little hurricane, ha
'Cause I'm feminine and soft, but I'm still a boss, yeah
Red lipstick but still so raw, yeah
Marilyn Monroe in a monster truck

'Cause I can be zen, and I can be the storm, yeah
Smell like a rose, and I pierce like a thorn, yeah
Karate chopping the clichés and norms all in a dress

Hey, hey, hey
You think that I'm a little baby
You think that I am fragile like a Fabergé
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
No, no way
No, no way
No, no way
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me (break me)

Yeah, I bounce back like a pro 'cause I'm so resilient
L-o-l at all your limits
Keep your penny thoughts, I'm making a mint

'Cause I can be zen, and I can be the storm, yeah
Smell like a rose, and I pierce like a thorn, yeah
Karate chopping the clichés and norms all in a dress

Hey, hey, hey
You think that I'm a little baby
You think that I am fragile like a Fabergé
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
No, no way
No, no way
No, no way
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me (break me)

I ain't got no strings (no strings, no strings, no strings)
I'm no one's little puppet
Got my own cha ching in my chubby little wallet
And secretly you love it (you f*cking love it)
And secretly you love it

Hey, hey, hey
You think that I'm a little baby
You think that I am fragile like a Fabergé
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
No
Hey, hey, hey
You think that I'm a little baby

Roulette

I'm uptight
Playing by the rules in this game of life
365 days on the grind
Something's stirring, I might need to unwind
Then, there's you
Texting me a little bubble of trouble
I've tried to ignore these thoughts that rumble
I think I'm bored of being so careful

Big city lights
Got me flirting with fire
Tonight I'ma let my hair down
Have a few rounds and just let go

Like roulette, o-o
Wanna close my eyes and roll it, with you
Like roulette, o-o
Wanna lose control and forget with you
Like roulette
Let's roll it

They say everything in moderation
And sometimes, you got to give in to temptation
So, I drop a pin to my location
Let's roll the dice

Big city lights
Got me flirting with fire
Tonight I'ma let my hair down
Have a few rounds and just let go

Like roulette, o-o
Wanna close my eyes and roll it, with you
Like roulette, o-o
Wanna lose control and forget with you
Like roulette
Let's roll it
Like roulette
(Let's roll it)

So tonight, we test limits (test limits)
Take the safety off for a minute (for a minute)
'Cause my love's a bullet with your name written on it
Just load it and spin it

Like roulette, o-o
Wanna close my eyes and roll it, with you
Like roulette, o-o
Wanna lose control and forget with you
Like roulette
Let's roll it
Like roulette
Wanna close my eyes and roll it, with you
(Like roulette)

Swish Swish

They know what is what
But they don't know what is what
They just strut
What the f*ck?

A tiger
Don't lose no sleep
Don't need opinions
From a shellfish or a sheep
Don't you come for me
No, not today (woah)
You're calculated
I got your number
'Cause you're a joker
And I'm a courtside killer queen
And you will kiss the ring
You best believe

So keep calm, honey, I'ma stick around
For more than a minute, get used to it
Funny my name keeps comin' out your mouth
'Cause I stay winning
Lay 'em up like

Swish, swish, bish
Another one in the basket (basket, woah, basket, woah)
Can't touch this
Another one in the casket (casket, woah, casket)

Your game is tired
You should retire
You're 'bout as cute as
An old coupon expired (woah, woah)
And karma's not a liar
She keeps receipts

So keep calm, honey, I'ma stick around
For more than a minute, get used to it
Funny my name keeps comin' out your mouth
'Cause I stay winning
Lay 'em up like

Swish, swish, bish
Another one in the basket (basket, woah, basket, woah)
Can't touch this
Another one in the casket (casket, woah, casket, let's go, woah)
Swish, swish, bish
Another one in the basket (basket, woah, basket, woah)
Can't touch this
Another one in the casket (casket, woah, casket, woah)

They know what is what
But they don't know what is what
Katy Perry (woah)
They just know what is what
Young Money
But they don't know what is what (what, woah)
They just know what is what
But they don't know what is what (woah)
They just strut
Hahaha, yo
What the f*ck? (Woah)

Pink Ferragamo sliders on deck
Silly rap beefs just get me more checks
My life is a movie, I'm never off set
Me and my amigos (no, not Offset)
Swiss swish, aww I got them upset
But my shooters'll make 'em dance like dubstep
Swiss, swish, aww, my haters is obsessed
'Cause I make M's, they get much less
Don't be tryna double back
I already despise you (yeah)
All that fake love you showin'
Couldn't even disguise you, yo, yo
Ran? When? Nicki gettin' tan
Mirror mirror who's the fairest bitch in all the land?
Damn, man, this bitch is a Stan
The generous queen'll kiss a fan
Ass goodbye, I'ma be riding by
I'ma tell my Biggz, yeah that's the guy
A star's a star, da ha da ha
They never thought the swish god would take it this far
Get my pimp cup, this is pimp shit, baby
I only rock with queens, so I'm makin' hits with Katy

Swish, swish, bish
Another one in the basket (and another one, and another one) (basket, woah, basket, woah)
Can't touch this (can't touch this)
Another one in the casket (and another one, and another one) (casket, woah, casket, woah)

They know what is what
Do they know?
But they don't know what is what
They just know what is what (woah)
But they don't know what is what (woah)
They just know what is what
But they don't know what is what
They just strut (woah)

Déjà Vu

I live off the echoes of your "I love you"s (I love you's, I love you's)
But I still feel the blows from all your "don't want to"s
When you're drunk, you say I'm the one
Then you wake up
You suck my hope up in a vacuum

'Cause every day's the same
Definition of the insane
I think we're running on a loop
Déjà vu (déjà vu)
So tell me something new
Figure out the Rubik's Cube
I think we're running on a loop
Déjà vu (déjà vu)

Your words are like Chinese water torture
And there's no finish line, always one more corner
Yeah, they slither like a centipede
Why do you keep me at the end of a rope that keeps getting shorter?

'Cause every day's the same
Definition of the insane
I think we're running on a loop
Déjà vu (déjà vu, déjà vu)
So tell me something new
Figure out the Rubik's Cube
I think we're running on a loop
Déjà vu (déjà vu, déjà vu)

'Cause every day's the same
Definition of the insane
I think we're running on a loop
Déjà vu (déjà vu, déjà vu)
So tell me something new
Figure out the Rubik's Cube
I think we're running on a loop
Déjà vu (déjà, déjà, déjà vu)

'Cause every day's the same
Definition of the insane
I think we're running on a loop
Déjà vu (déjà, déjà, déjà vu), déjà vu!

Power

I was fine before I met you
Truth is that I lost myself inside you
It is not fair to put all that on you
But you took control of a vulnerable soul

Yeah, I am my mother's daughter
And there are so many things I love about her
But I have, I have to break the cycle
So I can sit first at the dinner table

You can clip my wings, can't wield my powers
Stole my time, but I make up the hours
'Cause I'm a goddess and you know it
Some respect, you better show it
I'm done with you, siphoning my power
Power

Hell hath no fury like a woman
Reborn, and now I'm burning like a blue flame
Once more, but don't mistake my warn for weakness
Don't bite the hand that feeds, I'll
You'll never eat, no-oh

You can clip my wings, can't wield my powers
Stole my time but I make up the hours
'Cause I'm a goddess and you know it
Some respect you better show it
I'm done with you, siphoning my power
Power

And now I'm taking it back
Electric as f*ck (come on)
You can't quiet this thunder, no
Yeah, I'm taking it back
And all the way up
Even in the dark, I glow

You can clip my wings, can't wield my flowers
Stole my time but I make up the hours
'Cause I'm a goddess and you know it
Some respect, you better show it
I'm done with you, siphoning my power
Power

Mind Maze

I'm losing all direction
Slipping into quicksand
I've shattered the illusion, seen behind the curtain
I'm disenchanted
Dancing on a wire
Juggling desire
Every hit gets harder when you're fighting without armor
I'm disheartened

Do I start over, rediscover?
Submit to the sweet surrender

It's a mind maze
All these head games
Caught in a cage
A complex cage
Am I a car on fire?
Will I be devoured?
I gotta free myself and get out of my own way

I used to be so sparkling, but now it's not so charming
What used to stimulate me now can barely wake me
I'm unresponsive
Will I find salvation, some kind of moderation?
Spinning all these plates is gonna be a challenge
A delicate balance

So do I start over, rediscover?
Submit to the sweet surrender

It's a mind maze
All these head games
Caught in a cage
A complex cage
Am I a car on fire?
Will I be devoured?
I gotta free myself and get out of my own way

Get out of my own way
Get out of my own way
Get out of my own way

Do I start over, rediscover?
I submit to your, your sweet surrender
Your sweet surrender
Your sweet surrender
No

Miss You More

Saw your picture on accident
Your face has changed
The lines are sinking in
I pressed play, I should haven't
Congratulations, but do you ever wonder what we could have been? (Wonder what we could have been)
But your mind plays tricks with distance
Always makes things feel so unfinished

I miss you more than I loved you
I do
I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been)

I miss you more than I loved you
I do
I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been)

I saw a balloon floating away
I thought, did someone let go or did they lose it?
So strange you know all my secrets
Please keep them safe
And darling, you know that I'll do the same (you know that I'll do the same)

Though we're no longer in existence
Baby, you'll always be in my orbit

I miss you more than I loved you
I do
I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been)
I miss you more than I loved you
Oh, I do
I miss you more than I loved you

We were a match but not a fit
We were a dream, unrealistic
We didn't lose, we didn't win
(Sometimes I wonder what we could've been)

Oh I miss you more than I loved you
Oh I do
I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been)
I miss you more than I loved you
Oh, I do
I miss you more than I loved you

(You'll always be in my orbit)
(You'll always be in my orbit) ohh
(You'll always be in my orbit)

Chained To The Rhythm

Are we crazy?
Livin' our lives through a lens
Trapped in our white picket fence
Like ornaments
So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
Aren't you lonely
Up there in utopia
Where nothing will ever be enough?
Happily numb
So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble

Ah-ha, so good
Your rose-colored glasses on
And party on (woo)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumblin' around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free (ah-ha)
Drink, this one's on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm, to the rhythm

Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumblin' around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one's on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm, to the rhythm

Are we tone deaf?
Keep sweepin' it under the mat
Thought we could do better than that
I hope we can
So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble

Ah-ha, so good (so good)
Your rose-colored glasses on
And party on (woo)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumblin' around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free (ah-ha)
Drink, this one's on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm, to the rhythm

Turn it up, it's your favorite song (oh)
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumblin' around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free (ah-ha)
Drink, this one's on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm, to the rhythm (woah, oh, oh)

It is my desire
Break down the walls to connect, inspire
Ayy, up in your high place, liars
Time is tickin' for the empire
The truth they feed is feeble
As so many times before
The greed over the people
They stumblin' and fumblin' and we're about to riot
They woke up, they woke up the lions (woah)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song (hey)
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up (turn it up, turn it up, yeah), keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie (like a wasted zombie)
Yeah, we think we're free (ah)
Drink, this one's on me (ah)
We're all chained to the rhythm (we're all)
To the rhythm, to the rhythm (we're all, chained to the rhythm)

It goes on, and on, and on
It goes on, and on, and on (turn it up, it goes on and on and on and on)
It goes on, and on, and on (on and on and on it goes)
'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm (we're all chained to the rhythm)

Tsunami

Please don't tip-toe
Come close, let's flow
Anchor in me, get lost at sea
The world's your oyster, and I am the pearl
Open waters sink into me slowly

So baby come and take a swim with me
Make me ripple 'til I'm wavy
Don't be scared to dive in deep
And start a tsunami
Tsunami

Don't fight, just ride
The rhythm of the tide
We swirl, we spin
Salted, sun kissed skin
We flow together
Whatever weather
Embrace the breeze
And sail away smoothly

So baby come and take a swim with me
Make me ripple 'til I'm wavy
Don't be scared to dive in deep
And start a tsunami
Tsunami

Oh, you're waking up an ocean of emotion
That my body can't hide (can't hide)
Tsunami
Oh, now you're soaked in my devotion
'Cause you opened up a paradise (inside)
Tsunami

So baby come and take a swim with me

No waterfall, she drippin' wet, you like my ice? (Blast)
Said she want a Migo night, I ask her, "What's the price?" (Hold on)
If she do right, told her get whatever you like (Offset)

I grab her legs and now divide, aight
Make her do a donut when she ride, aight
Looking at the eyes of a dime, make you blind
In her spine and I'm on some diamonds change the climate

Sweet tooth (sweet), no tooth fairy (no)
Whipped cream (whip), no dairy (yeah)
She got her hot light on, screaming, "I'm ready" (hot)
But no horses, no carriage

Bigger Than Me

(I can feel it) (happening) (I can feel it) (happening) (I can feel it)
Can't go with the flow, got to make waves
Even though, I look at the sand and I'm just one grain
But my intuition says there's a bigger mission
I must embrace
So I'm, I'm pushing my thoughts to a new place

I'm kicking and screaming, 'cause it won't be easy
To break all the patterns
If I'm not evolving, I'm just another rumor
Taking up oxygen

It's something bigger than me
I can feel it beginning
Something bigger than me
Yeah, I can feel it opening

Try to ignore it, but it keeps on growing out of control
It's something bigger than me
I can feel it happening

So I'll speak my truth
Though my voice shakes
Try to summon the strength
To look fear in the face

But I'm kicking and screaming, 'cause it won't be easy
To break all the patterns
If I'm not evolving, I'm just another rumor
Taking up oxygen

It's something bigger than me
I can feel it beginning
Something bigger than me
Look, I can feel it opening

Try to ignore it, but it keeps on growing out of control
It's something bigger than me
I can feel it happening (happening)

(Oh I can feel it) (happening) (I can feel it) (happening) (I can feel it)

It's something bigger than me
Something bigger than me
Yeah, I can feel it opening

Try to ignore it, but it keeps on growing out of control
It's something bigger than me
I can feel it happening (happening)

Save As Draft

I remember when you used to be my every other thought
But now my calendar's so full, it's easier to move on
Sometimes I swear I pass your SUV on Sunset Boulevard
I don't f*ck with change, but lately I've been flipping coins a lot

I struggle
I juggle
I could just throw a line to you
But I should let sleeping dogs lie 'cause I know better, baby
I write it
Erase it
Repeat it
But what good will it do
To reopen the wound
So I take a deep breath
And I save as draft

You don't have to subtweet me
My number's always been the same
But all's been said and done
Will we ever really close this case?
Yeah, I will always be here for you, but I could no longer stay
Still my body goes in shock every time I hear your name

I struggle
I juggle
I could just throw a line to you
But I should let sleeping dogs lie 'cause I know better, baby
I write it
Erase it
Repeat it
But what good will it do
To reopen the wound
So I take a deep breath
And I save as draft

I've heard you've done some changing
I've been rearranging
Wish that I could know, but I just don't know
Never get that time back
Fear we'd fall in old traps
Why can't we just let go
Staring at a fork in the f*cking road

I struggle
I juggle
I could just throw a line to you
But I should let sleeping dogs lie 'cause I know better, baby
I write it
Erase it
Repeat it
But what good will it do
To reopen the wound
So I take a deep breath
And I save as draft

Pendulum

You got patina, ain't so green, nah
You earned the spot, got your receipts, yeah
Funny, gotta add addendums to your dreams
Still, you never sleep, no, you never sleep, ah
Oh, you learn to dance, to bob and weave, yeah
To let that water roll off easy, yeah
You grew yourself above the weeds, taller than the trees, oh, so

Don't try and reinvent your wheel
'Cause you're too original
Baby, just stay classic
Ain't broke, ain't broke, don't fix it

And there is no need to worry
The pages keep on turning
And it goes on and on, goes all the way around
And there is no need to hurry
There's a fire burnin'
'Cause it goes on and on, goes all the way around
All the way around
Hey, around
(All) all the way around (c'mon)
Ain't broke, ain't broke, don't fix it
Your highs, your lows, just ride it

It's a pendulum, it all comes back around (pendulum)
It's a pendulum, it's a pendulum
Life's a pendulum, it all comes back around, hey
It's a pendulum, it all comes back, it all comes back
It's a pendulum, it all comes back around (pendulum)
It's a pendulum, it's a pendulum (all comes back around)
Life's a pendulum, it all comes back around (pendulum)
It's a pendulum, it all comes back, it all comes back

Into Me You See

I built a wall so high, no one could reach
A life of locks, I swallowed up the keys
I was petrified, only knew how to hide
They can't hurt me if they don't know me
A full facade made a mirage outta me

Then you came and started digging for a treasure underneath
And you found a better version of me I had never seen

Into me, you'll see
Into me, you'll see
You broke me wide open, open sesame
Into me, you'll see
Into me, you'll see
You got me wide open, now I'm ready
Is this intimacy?

I was a ship floating aimlessly
So camouflage was my own worst enemy

But then you came in like a sailor with a heart that anchored me
And every day I wake up grateful I'm no longer lost at sea

Into me, you'll see
Into me, you'll see
You broke me wide open, open sesame
Into me, you'll see
Into me, you'll see
You got me wide open, now I'm ready
Is this intimacy?

Oh, 'cause no one's ever seen me like this
Seen right through their bullshit
I pray that it can keep unfolding
Pray that I just can stay open, just stay open
Just stay open, just stay open

Oh, 'cause you broke me wide open, open sesame
Into me, you'll see
Into me, you'll see
You got me wide open, now I'm ready
This is intimacy

Witness is the fifth studio album by American singer Katy Perry. It was released on June 9, 2017, by Capitol Records. Witness is an electropop album that delves into dance and EDM genres, with lyrics on self-empowerment and feminism. Perry described it as an album of "liberation" and "purposeful pop".

Five singles aided Witness, out of which, three were released before the album and one reached the top-ten of the Billboard Hot 100 chart: the lead single, "Chained to the Rhythm" featuring Skip Marley, peaked at number four on the Hot 100. "Bon Appétit" featuring Migos peaked at number 59, while "Swish Swish" featuring Nicki Minaj reached number 46. "Save as Draft" and "Hey Hey Hey" were released as subsequent singles on June 26, 2017 and January 12, 2018, respectively, with "Hey Hey Hey" receiving a music video. To support the album's release, Perry broadcast herself on a four-day YouTube live-stream, titled Katy Perry Live: Witness World Wide.

Upon release, critics were divided towards the album. Some criticized the production and lyricism, while others welcomed the album's personal nature and singled out certain tracks for praise.

Moving 180,000 album equivalent units in its first-week, Witness debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming Perry's third chart-topping album in the country. The album also topped the charts in Canada and Spain, while reaching number two in Australia, South Korea, Mexico, and New Zealand and the top five region in nine other territories.

To promote the album, Perry embarked on her fourth concert tour, Witness: The Tour. Prior to the release of the album, Perry had not released new material in four years, with the exception of the 2016 Summer Olympics anthem, "Rise".

After releasing Prism (2013) and touring in 2014-2015, Perry went on hiatus to protect her mental health and to return afresh. Perry decided to shed her on-stage persona and embrace her self-proclaimed authentic self as Katheryn Hudson, her real name. As a result, she retired her long, dark hair for a short pixie cut, and adopted her natural blonde hair color.
