Wither
Fading Light: Saint Vilify's Poetic Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
If you could bear to sleep here
If you were willing to stay here, even just for tonight
Even for just tonight
I believe things will eventually change, just give it some time
I know it’s gonna change
The situation will transform, be patient
Just give me a little while
Be patient with me, I need a little time
Of course, I want a truce
I desire peace between us
It’s just not so resolute
But my feelings aren’t strong or decisive enough
As biting your lips
It's easier to stay silent and forgive what I'll lose
And absolving what I will lose
Accepting the consequences of what will be lost
As you change a dress
As you change outfits or roles
I hope you think the best of me
I hope you hold a positive opinion of me
My prince, my love
Addressing a loved one
My co-star you just
You, my important partner, haven’t stood out enough
Never shone bright enough
You never shined brightly enough
Give up your light
Relinquish your brilliance
I’m sure it’s fading
I am certain it’s diminishing
Give up your light
-I’m sure it’s fading
-Give up your light
I observed a sunflower's decline
I’m sure it’s fading
It sat on the windowsill deteriorating
I watched a sunflower die
Perhaps I anticipated its demise
On the windowsill for days
Over time, I saw it wither away
Maybe I knew it was coming
Maybe I foresaw its fate
Distilled I watched it fade
I closely observed its decline
And I watched her sleep
And I watched someone dear to me sleep peacefully
Right beside me and never break
By my side without breaking
I’ll never ask you to change
I won’t demand change from you
Beg you to stay
I won’t plead for you to stay
But I know this is right for me
But I know this decision is right for me
Hear my voice
Listen to my plea or message
At the end of the road
Eventually, you won’t be so innocent or naive
You’re just not at the altar boy
You won’t just be a follower or bystander
I know it’s gotta change
I am aware change is necessary
I just hope that one day
I simply hope that one day you won’t be unfamiliar
You won’t be a stranger
With a history or influence that I can’t evade
With a legacy
Letting go of your radiance
I can’t escape
I am certain it’s diminishing
Give up your light
I won’t linger here any longer
I‘m sure it’s fading
And I’m convinced your brilliance is fading
And I won’t stick around any longer I
I won’t remain present or endure any more
I’ll wither amongst the stars
I’ll deteriorate among the celestial bodies
But I hoped you’d come around
However, I hoped for your realization
To see I don’t fight
To understand that I don’t provoke conflict
But what’s even left if the
But what remains if the only bright thing in my life
Only thing that was
Has disappeared
Shining in my life
I couldn’t bear to age with me
Couldn’t bare to
But I won’t succumb in that manner
Grow old with me
But I won’t perish in that manner
But I won’t go out like that
I won’t allow myself to fade away like that
