Carry My Stone

My vision is like a candle, dim in the darkness, flickering light

My heart is a cave, follow me down to the depths of dismay

Irresponsibly hoping, I'm probably broken

I'm certainly a long, long, way from home

Ascend to be woken, I'm out in the open

Searching for the crown that's bound to the throne

I carry my stone

It follows me down every time that I fall

And every time I move, it's like I'm moving a wall

With each and every step, it's a heavier haul

It's my chain and my ball, it's my strength and my flaw

Barely holding on, but I'm not ready to bury my bones

It's the fire inside of my desire that inspires me to carry my stone

I carry my stone

(Carry my stone)

My footsteps shoulder my life as I try to climb

My fingers fight to hold on to time

(Don't let it slip away)

It follows me down every time that I fall

And every time I move, it's like I'm moving a wall

With each and every step, it's a heavier haul

It's my chain and my ball, it's my strength and my flaw

Barely holding on, but I'm not ready to bury my bones

It's the fire inside of my desire that inspires me to carry my stone

I carry my stone

I carry my stone

I carry my stone

I'm losing my breath

The way that I live is the way that I die

So, in a sense, I'm choosing my death

Using what's left of the time I'm given

Every day is erased, and this timeline isn't getting any longer

Only getting shorter, only for the moment, the time I'm in it

It's scary to know we're all very alone

I climb my hill, I carry my stone

The weight of my world, lies squarely on loan

My time is borrowed, I carry my stone

It follows me down every time that I fall

And every time I move, it's like I'm moving a wall

With each and every step, it's a heavier haul

It's my chain and my ball, it's my strength and my flaw

Barely holding on, but I'm not ready to bury my bones

It's the fire inside of my desire that inspires me to carry my stone

I carry my stone
