Lyrics
Well I Watched a fire burn and burn out. The embers have all disappeared. It's a little bit colder now. Well I watched passion grow as it grew mundane. All your monotonous love turned your pretty green eyes to grey. I am the withering man. I am the one with the wicked hand.
I'm sorry I fooled you. I'm such a fool. My jealousy like a dissonant chord as we all fall apart. Baby please please keep all your promises I'll take the blame. I am the withering man. I am the one with the wicked hand.
Hush little baby. Don't say whats on your mind. It's too late for excuses. Hush little baby. It's ok to cry. I can tell from the tears in you eyes. You're still bleeding
