Things Don’t Have to Live to Wither Away

(Part One)

And after all the grains of sand went away
I did not know what else to say
I don't think people would want to listen
And after all the things that went away

And so when you look back
Through all the same things again
After all that we had seen
After that, you’ve been away for so long
You have no idea how we felt
After all, this thing that we've done
What else? What else could go wrong?

And though this may be at the end
This timeline of this chapter
I don't know what could occur next
It’s not like I am failing to know

After all that we had happen
You would guess that we'd know
Maybe things don't have to die to wither away

It doesn't matter now does it
What has to happen
So that you understand
Guess you just needed to know
Guess we just needed to know

(Part Two)

So when it broke
There was nothing we could do to understand
The suggestion you had gave

Maybe you were right from the beginning
Maybe we should have listened

But we had no idea
That it would have gone this far
I guess it just shows
That it doesn't matter

I guess it shows that it doesn't matter
If it's living
It doesn't matter if it’s living or not
I guess anything can

It doesn’t matter what is living
It doesn't matter what; Just an idea
I guess anything can wither away

(Part Three)

And for how much I didn’t want to know
How much I wish I didn't know
How much I was proven wrong
I didn't know that it could happen

So after all that we have seen
It shows how much is so obscene
That we never even understood
What things can wither

I guess it doesn't have to be a thing that’s actually living
I guess that friendship can wither away
It doesn't even know what to say
But I guess it's okay

Maybe it's time we move away
Maybe it's time we move away
Maybe it's time we move away
Maybe it's time we move away

Put this thing all away
Put this thing in a safe and lock it away
Throw it in a vault and lock it up
Doesn't really matter anymore

(Part Four)

I guess nothing has to be living
If it even made it to be
I guess it doesn't matter if it doesn't live
Friendship can wither away

I guess it's time to move away
I guess it's time to move away
I guess it's time to move away
I guess it's time to move away

Put it all in a safe
Put it in the vault and lock it up
Destroy it until it's gone
Put everything away

It doesn't matter if we stay
It doesn't matter if we know
Just put it all away
I guess it's time to move away

If friendship can wither away
Then we found out why
Then there is no reason to stay
Just put it all away

Now it's time to move away
Now it's time to move away
Now it's time to move away
Now it's time to move away
