Grow, Wither

This one’s a straight-up love song. Our first ever! I’ve written about love before, but always in sOme flawed or negative way.

Grow, Wither is about my love for my girlfriend Savannah, and it’s pretty much as simple as that. We’ve been together for two years now, and it has consistently felt different than anything I’ve experienced before. We have a Burmese cat named Sasha, and she’s the best (you may have have seen her on our Instagram story at some point. If not, ask me in the Discord chat and I’ll send plenty of pics).

I felt that this one fit perfectly in the middle of the Autumn leg of the album. The song’s title alludes to its inclusion here, and I also feel like it fits nicely as a classic Track 7 Ballad, but with a bit of a twist. It’s a love song that talks about how we’ll be gone one day. Seems negative at first, but I felt that it was more apt to write about my appreciation and excitement for all the things we have and have yet to experience despite the fact that we’ll be gone one day. Hope that makes sense. It also features Aaliyah again on background vocals in the bridge and our good friend Mario Tierno on production again (he helped produce Opaque, too). Anyhow, hope this one gets you into the autumn mood & hope it makes you feel nice!

Lyrics

I’ll love every part of you
Til the day we’re gone
And one day we will be gone
Not just us two, but the thought
Of everything we ever were
One day or another
We’ll grow or we’ll wither
And stop making sound

I want to be known for you
Not what I’ve been through
Cause you’re the best that I’ve been through
I used to feel like I could only
Live life for my own good
But one way or another
Wherever you wander
I’m following you

The colder walk is over
I was over my head
Cause no one ever taught me to be scared to fall in love
And everything’s a matter of ‘why’ and ‘because’
When every piece was frozen
From the blue inside my head
You saw me through the window when stained glass was not enough
Building mansions in my life
I’ll see you there when I wake up


I’ll love every moment that
We have before we fall away
From the life that we were given
Not the life that we have build I’m always scared to be alone
But with you here, I never will
