lyrics

In my heart there’s a black stone buried
There’s a black stone buried in my heart
Where we’ve been, who we’ve called and carried
Where we’ll all be buried for our part
Don’t you feel like it all got scary
Like it all got scary way too fast?
In the past like a bad memory
Of the times you’re cut free from at last

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We never tried that hard
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We never tried this hard before

In my head there’s a dark thought growing
There’s a rude stream flowing through the fir
Been so long we couldn’t trust our feelings
Couldn’t risk revealing who we were
The backslide that we let decide
How we’ll stay inside from now on
All the pricks couldn’t find a vein
And the Big Bang came with a yawn

Can you hold it back? Won’t last the drought!
Can you make it stand? In fits and shouts!
Is your gun in hand? Without a doubt!
Is your next life planned? Good looking out!

In my chest there’s a slow pulse beating
Like two cold winds meeting in my chest
Short on time, friends and family we’ve lost
Blowing seeds across the Midwest
In my soul there’s a thin break spreading
There’s a dull ache treading ‘cross my soul
There’s a breach from a rising tide
There’s a judge deciding what we owe
In my heart there’s a black stone buried
There’s a black stone buried in my heart
Where we’ve been, who we’ve called and carried
How we’ve all been wary from the start

Da da da, da da da da dada
Dada da, da da da da dada
Dada da, da da da da
Da da da da
