WITHERING AND WISHING
- words by Leif
This is about a specific woman that I had a very close relationship with. The highs were very high, the lows were very low, and it was terribly difficult to part from her. Circumstances were especially complicated. Despite my heartfelt efforts to hold things together, I felt betrayed and slighted in the end.
Flirting with oblivion
I'll never know the truth
How I wish I could die
How I wish I could kill you
Nothing lasts for you
Thus everything is new
When I breathe my last breath
What will I regret?
How I wish there was a world
Only for me
How I wish I lived my life
Never touching anything
Weak yesterday
And alone tomorrow
We've lived a lie
Forever wondering why
Selfish today
And sad tomorrow
You've already begun to die
But so have I
