​wilted
[Verse 1]
I can't grow without your light
I can't grow without your love to water my roots
I can't thrive and bloom quite right
My vines are now my noose

[Verse 2]
Deprive me of the sun
I may grow, but I'll be gnarled and twisted now
Petals fall one by one
I'm tilting, driftin', wiltin'

[Chorus]
Wither away like bones to dust
Shrivel up, break, and combust
It's all gone and dead
Brittle, browned, and wilted (So wilted)

[Verse 3]
What was once green is grey
Hysterical, useless, and frail
My leaves have all decayed
Morning glory now nightingale

[Chorus]
So wither away like bones to dust
Shrivel up, break, and combust
It's all gone and dead
Brittle, browned, and wilted (So wilted)
[Bridge]
(Close your eyes)
(What you see now, love?)
(Can you picture the world without the sun?)
(I said close your eyes)
(What you see now, love?)
(Can you picture the world without the sun?)

[Outro]
Bugs may eat my flesh (Bones to dust)
Waning, rotting, and done (Bones to dust)
But a new flower manifests (Bones to dust)
One that won't need the sun
One that won't need the sun
No, I won't need the sun
I'll be my own sun
I'll be my own sun
I'll be my own sun
