Wither/Ascend

The pain will come

With the morning sun

Will the night betray the day?

Blistered skin

Withered from within

Scratch to shed this shell away

Will you know my name or

Will I hang my head in shame?

Will someone take this tired skin

That I've been dying in?

Will someone hold me to the light?

And if I die tonight

Then take this broken man and

Wrap me tight within

This brand new skin

Watch me fly

Freedom like wings and I will use them

Freedom like wings and I will spread them wide

Watch me fly

Freedom, my wings and I will use them

Freedom, my wings and I will spread them wide

And rise

One day my ashes will return to earthly slumber

Spread far and wide across the desert and the sea

Until then, I will live each day in awe and wonder

Look forward to each sunrise
