Wither - Desertion

Let it out, let it out Feel 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 breakdown 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 breakdown 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 Burning to the ground The thought of starting over Leaves me paralyzed Tear it out again Another one that got away So 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 breakdown And let the story guide me I wither And give myself away Like reflections on the page The world's what you create The world's what you create Let it out, let it out

Loose-hearted lady, sleepy was she Love for the devil brought her to me Seeds of a thousand drawn to her sin Seasons of wither holdin' me in Oh, woe is me, I feel so badly for you Oh, woe is me, I feel so sadly for you In time bound to lose your mind Live on borrowed time Take the wind right out of your sail Fireflies dance in the heat of Hound dogs that bay at the moon My ship leaves in the midnight Can't say I'll be back too soon They awaken far far away Heat of my candle show me the way Seeds of a thousand drawn to her sin Seasons of wither holdin' me in Oh, woe is me, I feel so badly for you Oh, woe is me, I feel so sadly for you In time bound to lose your mind Live on borrowed time Take the wind right out of your sail

Sadness runs through my veins Fueled by memories of the past, a familiar pain What do I have to gain When I constantly reflect on bitter life with disdain I have no home, feeling alone Is this all I have? Sadness inside All I wanted was to be like them Happiness and a life full of friends And I'm sorry I can't meet these ends I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry But I'm more than this Love breaks the shackles of my self loathing bliss I am free, I am free from this Let me go in peace You are a tree, that sprouts, blooms, and dies The seasons change, but methods stay the same I'm trying to better myself, but it's easy to fill the void of an empty shell Addiction, anxiety and, depression Leads only to my dissection of who I am Only to find that I'm nothing instead A case of chemical destruction My brain lacks a longing, fulfilled direction You are a tree, that sprouts, blooms, and dies The seasons change, but methods stay the same Is life worth living when only present is suffering I'm full of love but aggressions of self hate suffocate Sadness runs through my veins Feeling alive Nothing fuels my mind Feeling alive Words of comfort sometimes get me by You are a tree, that sprouts, blooms, and dies The seasons change, but methods stay the same Is life worth living when only present is suffering I'm full of love but aggressions of self hate suffocate

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and what'soever he doeth shall prosper. In thy never ending way
