Dread Lyrics by Old Wharf

Wither

2023

Last night I watched myself sleep
I ventured into the deep
To a place unknowing to me
But a domain I’ve been dying to see
As the seasons come and go
Will this pain remain the same
My annihilation draws its breath
The vultures circle and do their dance of death
This place is not for the weak
A twisted game of hide and seek
This world has taken enough from me
For now, I’ll bathe in the debris
Sorrow fits me perfectly
Like a slave to its master, it never leavеs
You’ll haunt me endlessly
Until I’m picking out blood clots from my teeth
Mold mysеlf a brand new face
One that learns to smile again
Repulsive, offensive, repugnant, abhorrent
As darkness caresses the light
Dead cold and petrified
Revel in my distress
Feeding your appetite
When darkness swallows the light
My grave lies self-satisfied
My body becoming white
It’s time to say goodnight
Why does it feel like the walls are closing in on me?
Why does it feel like everyone’s my enemy?
I gave in to your game just to let you have your way
When all is said and done I’m still the one who’s come undone
Shall I revert to type and cry my ghosts to sleep at night?
My life paves way for illusion
No peace and no conclusion
Drill through my head take what is left
Cut through my chest to warm the dead
Drain out my blood then paint the halls
Leave me to rot inside the walls
My hands grow numb from digging myself a grave
The last thought I have tells me that I’m better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
