You tie stones around your bones
And hope you wouldn't drown
Hope that someone takes your hand
And slip a rope around
Unmitigated purity falls from my hand
And bitterly, I choke on tainted memory of you
Tell me I'm your ghost, right
Carry me around like
Everywhere you go
The color or the glow
The prism of my soul, tied
Around your hand I float by
So why do I pretend it's fine
When it's a fucking lie
When stones have cracked my every bone
Yet still, I will not die
You carve the words from out my throat
Cold shoulders for my brittle bones
I won't read the words I wrote
Burning down my home
You're burning in my skull
Fire walk away from everything I know
A stone's throw from truly alone
You tie stones around your bones
You tie stones around your bones
