Withered - Tiny Kingdoms

We rise from the floorboards and convey each sound

We stretched our limbs after a thousand years of sleeping underground

Silent and steadfast, you miss being buried

And now every time we’re together you’re so much more lonely

And it consumes me

And it consumes me

And it consumes me

And it consumes me

And it consumes me

And it consumes me

In our efforts to save ourselves we nearly drowned

And we held out every time we were being dragged down

I should know better than to call you mine

But each vein was weathered, subjecting us to the tide

Who have we been?

Who have we been?

Who have we been?

Who have we been?

We thought we planted our roots so deep

But we’ve withered so much since then

Who have we been?

Who have we been?

Who have we been?

Who have we been?

A beautiful place turned to an empty space

And now we have to give in

In our efforts to save ourselves we nearly drowned

And we held out every time we were being dragged down

I should know better than to call you mine

But each vein was weathered, subjecting us to the tide
