Lyrics

Wither

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Let it out, let it out

Fill the empty space

So insecure

Find the words

And let it out

Staring down, staring down

Nothing comes to mind

Find the place

Turn the water into wine

But I feel I'm getting nowhere

And I'll never see the end

So I wither

And render myself helpless

I give in

And everything is clear

I break down

And let the story guide me

Turn it on, turn it on

Let the feelings flow

Close your eyes

See the ones you used to know

Open up, open up

Don't struggle to relate

Lure it out

Help the memory escape

Still this barrenness consumes me

And I feel like giving up

So I wither

And render myself helpless

I give in

And everything is clear

I break down

And let the story guide me

I wither

And give myself away

Like reflections on the page

The world's what you create

I drown in hesitation

My words come crashing down

And all my best creations

Burn into the ground

The thought of starting over

Leaves me paralyzed

Tear it out again

Another one that got away

I wither

And render myself helpless

I give in

And everything is clear

I wither

And render myself helpless

I give in

And everything is clear

I break down

And let the story guide me

I wither

And give myself away

Like reflections on the page

The world's what you create
