lyrics

Whither will I wither
Whither will I wither away
When the oceans dry up
And the earth burns away
Whither will I wither
Whither will I wither away
Whither will I wither
Whither will I wither

There's beauty in the silence - Yes there's beauty in the gaps
And we all are running somewhere even if we're just doin laps
You might put your faith in necromancers who make everything so clear
But the question is the only answer - the only one that I can hear

They say be part of something greater - They tell you get involved
Well we all will do that somehow - After we dissolve
And we all are chasing something - maybe some kind of glory
But in the end we're all just footnotes in our own life story

Whither will I wither
And will you whither with me
And whither will we whither
My humble inquiry

Well we all must leave the diner - After we've been served
But we all are made of energy - And we all will be conserved
As we go our separate ways - Expanding throughout time
There's a light that's shining somewhere - And I've got yours and you've got mine

Whither will we wither
Will you wither with me
Whither will we wither
Whither will we wither

Now I know that we're all hoping for some kind of wisdom at the end
If you teach a man to fish you'll have a very smelly friend

Whither will I wither
Whither will I wither away
Whither will we wither
My humble inquiry
