Dream Theater
Wither (John Petrucci Vocal Demo)
[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 thе ones you used to know
[Verse 4]
Open up, opеn 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
