Lyrics

WILTING FLOWER
By Charles Pebler

V1
What'you doing to your family now?
What'you done with the money, child?
Where you been spending the nights wild?
What noxious poison have you been putting in your vase, Wilting Flower?
Once Beautiful
Such a disgrace
A victim of the chemicals
Wasting away by the hour...it's pitiful
Why can't you stop?

Chorus
Endangered by strangers with high risk behaviors
You're spinning and slipping, no finding salvation
NO god that can save you
NO Jesus in manger
Young mother who made you lost in trepidation

V2
Black ribbons bind your wrists and ankles
Gripped to the wings of a dark angel
Where you've been spending the nights disabled, Flying through the sky.
Just a helpless little child begging for a sparing
Lost in the fine print of dysfunctionality
Writing the words to your own obituary
Fighting for breath, stuck under water in reality

Chorus
Endangered by strangers with high risk behaviors
You're spinning and slipping, no finding salvation
NO god that can save you
NO Jesus in manger
Young mother who made you lost in trepidation

Bridge
Wasting away by the hour...it's pitiful
Why can't you stop?

Chorus
(Repeat)
