Wither Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let it out, let it out
Fill the empty space
So insecure
Find the words and let it out

[Verse 2]
Staring down, staring down
Nothing comes to mind
Find the place
Turn the water into wine

[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel I'm getting nowhere
And I'll never see the end

[Chorus]
So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I break down
And let the story guide me

[Verse 3]
Turn it on, turn it on
Let the feelings flow
Close your eyes
See the ones you used to know

[Verse 4]
Open up, open up
Don't struggle to relate
Lure it out
Help the memory escape

[Pre-Chorus]
Still this barrenness consumes me
And I feel like giving up

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge 1]
Like reflections on the page
The world's what you create

[Verse 5]
I drown in hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burn into the ground

[Verse 6]
The thought of starting over
Leaves me paralyzed
Tear it out again
Another one that got away

[Bridge 2]
I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Like reflections on the page
The world's what you create
The world's what you create
Let it out, let it out
