Wither Lyrics - Singles - 38th Parallel

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
