Stones

I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth

You said those were only the lies you’ve told me

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

I pulled my collar to the wind and spit them on the ground

You said those are only the lies you’ve told me

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

Sat on the edge of our bed in the sun

I felt them gather on my tongue

I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth

You said those are only the lies you’ve told me

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

The dirt-brown winter field

A thousand black crows cover the ground

You say those are only the lies you’ve told me

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

The autumn wind blows through the trees

As the dark leaves come tumbling down

You say those are only the lies you’ve told me

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

I walk a highway washed in sun

I feel weight gather on my tongue

I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth

You said those are only the lies you’ve told me

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

(Only the lies you’ve told me)

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

(Only the lies you’ve told me)

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

(Only the lies you’ve told me)

Those are only the lies you’ve told me

I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
