Wither Lyrics

Here lies

The remains of a person I used to be

Beaten down til I recognized my true enemy

And I've screamed for salvation

That would never come

As I withered inside

So engulfed with shame

The shame in the wake of your light

Now I have spent so much

Time falling short of your light

That I've grown hollow

And cold

Broken down

Build me up, though I know

I won't resemble what I was

Cast aside

A fall from Grace

A broken soul, now plagued with rust

So stay away from me

Lest my shadow dull your light

Please stay, don't leave me here

Don't leave me to wither and die

Now I have spent so much

Time falling short of your light

That I've grown hollow

And cold

No longer will I crumble under all of

The oppressive and curtailing

Limitations of the daylight

I struggled to ascend up like a Phoenix from ashes

Of the pedestal I built as it perished in the flames

By the striking of the match

The facade of the unblemished melted back as it revealed

Imperfection

I found upon the flaws

An awakening oasis

Misanthropic isolation

Break

Through the chains that attached

To the carcass of something that used to resembled me

Something I won't ever be

Hate

What had shaped the monster

Thats broken off the leash now feeding

On darker energy

Pain

What I've lived and breath

For what seems like an eternity Now

Finally meets its deprivation

Raise

From the ash of my past

New fire is burning

Spitting back in the face of trepidation

Now I have spent so much

Time falling short of your light

That I've grown hollow

And cold

I stand in the wind

Feel the rain line tears of the scorned

The ground beneath my feet

Begins to exact its justice
