lyrics

STONE

I MOVE TOWARD THE SOURCE
AND WITH WHATEVER VOICE
MY INSTINCT TELLS ME TO IMPOSE
I PULL MYSELF INTO A LINE LIKE IT'S A UNIFORM
AND THERE WERE A SELF THERE TO DISCLOSE.

I TURN AROUND AND STOP
AND WATCH THE DAY SLIDE OFF THE CLOCK
WITHOUT A LOT FOR IT TO SHOW
YOU KNOW THAT TIME THAT TIME THAT TIME IS SOMEONE PASSING BY
WHO CANNOT TELL YOU WHERE IT GOES

I FILED A NEW REPORT
OF HOLY TRUTH AND AFTERTHOUGHT
AS IF WORDS ARE ALL I KNOW
AS IF THE LINES INSIDE WOULD NOT SUBMIT TO OTHER TIDES
AND TO WINTER AND TO SNOW (OH THE SNOW)

THIS HAND TO CUT
THIS HAND TO CURE
THESE LIPS TO TAKE
THIS BREATH UNSURE
THESE LINES THAT FLOW
THESE WORDS THAT FALTER

I MOVE TOWARD THE SOURCE
AND WITH WHATEVER VOICE
I COME TO CONSIDER AS MY OWN
AND IF A SONG, THIS SONG IS SOMETHING LIKE A MOUNTAIN TOP
THEN I'M A STONE PUSHING A STONE
I’M A STONE
