Wither
Wither
Verse1
C# B G A
-----------
break
fade away
silent & flawed
what are you now?
so breathe
breathe in decay
claw at my skin
my broken love
this joy in us
buried down
these cruel hands
we keep, for now
-----------------
sear out these eyes
& drown these thoughts
our barren dreams
our empty hearts
I crawl in your throat
a stain on your lips
the soil on your tongue
Verse2
A C B A
--------------
strangers compelled by restraint
steady the night
that I carve out your name
on the walls of this cage
patient, I wait
succumb to the blinding sun
breaking through
but spared for you
C B E
what else can be left behind?
what are you now? X2
Verse3
E D A E
------------
molded in weakness
& cold, hard mistakes
this mask is your shelter
when there's nothing to take
there's no room for tears. not anymore
--------------------
a span in the darkness
a chain in the night
we're stray constellations
gasping in unison
ever collapsing & falling apart
blinded & suffering
gaze to the floor
starved of all comfort
& clawing your way down
someone believe's that there might be something else
so wither
breathe in the decay
claw at my skin
my fallen star
wither
& fade away
these cruel hands
all that we are
