Wither Songtext / Lyric

Forward he marches through scornful laughter

Undaunted eyes set on hopes of here after

A gauntlet of piercing stares line his way

And condemning glares say all hate can say



As he strides ever on steps

In time with his hearts rhythm and rhyme

To the end of his day

Forever seductive smile shatters sense

And bids him acquiesce from this solitary life



But we don't see

We've made ourselves blind

And we don't care

We've closed our minds

And we don't move

We're so paralyzed

And we, we sit in heartlessness

Watching him die






And we don't see

We've made ourselves blind

And we don't care

We've closed our minds

And we don't move

We're so paralyzed

And we, we sit in heartlessness

Watching him die



Dead to immunity, dead to society

Fearing the slow decay of dignity

The poster child for walking dead men

Longs for the now to be way back when



As he strides ever on steps

In time with his hearts rhythm and rhyme

To the end of his day

Forever seductive smile shatters sense

And bids him acquiesce from this solitary life



But we don't see

We've made ourselves blind

And we don't care

We've closed our minds

And we don't move

We're so paralyzed

And we, we sit in heartlessness

Watching him die



And we don't see

We've made ourselves blind

And we don't care

We've closed our minds

And we don't move

We're so paralyzed

And we, we sit in heartlessness

Watching him die



And I see him everyday along his road

Fading away manifest in the downcast

Recluse and outcast lepers of this age

The innocent in cage by paranoid, misinformed minds



Enter the champions of love so called singing loud

Grinning as they spit out their words, so proud

Hearts unmoved by songs and ideals?

Wading through the rhetoric to clutch something real



Don't see

We've made ourselves blind

Don't care

We've closed our minds

Don't move

We're so paralyzed

We sit in heartlessness

Watching him die



Don't see

We've made ourselves blind

Don't care

We've closed our minds

Don't move

We're so paralyzed

We sit in heartlessness

Watching him die
