lyrics

Freeze right there you were caught at the scene of a crime
Awash with alibis
And priming for a restart
Please do share where you think that you were at the time
And swear me to your side
A bible for your sweetheart
You only want me as a witness
Shining back what right you’ve done to
Light you from the stand
You only want me as a witness
Pleading through your misery
“Forgive me for I know not what I am”
Flash right back to a boy in the need of applause
Evading playground taunts
From bright young things with eyes rolled
Beat that track! Daddy said you’re whatever you want
And how that promise haunts
Potential as yet untold
You only want me as a witness
Watching you toss conquests off as quickly as you can
You only want me as a witness
Bleeding through your chivalry
“Forgive me for I know not what I am”
No reason not to be something
Now that the traitor you were has faced the squad
Neither forgotten nor gone
Your aim can’t be trusted
Watch yourself fall to the dust
Collar to cuffs
All liquored up
Don’t look now, it appears you’re a man on the run
Don’t turn to see what from
Your victim’s still in rear view
Tracked you down by the scent of the smoke on your gun
You finally succumb
But baby I can’t hear you
I only want you as a witness
In the dark beneath me, blistered-fisted, shadow-clad
I only want you as a witness
This’ll be your christening
Forgive me, but you know not what I am.

Hannah vs. The Many Brooklyn, New York

"(Fairchild's)songs play out like tiny musicals - they’re dramatic, punchy, and lightly dusted with Stephen Sondheim’s lyricality ... you can hear a likeness to his dark theatre in her music."

- WNYC Soundcheck

"The key's in the name. Hannah vs The Many. Not Hannah AND The Many... You wouldn't want to be part of the "Many" Hannah Fairchild's ferociously taking down - track by track."
