lyrics

THE STONE AND THE SEA

In the rocks from the sea
That now rain down on me
I can hear my voice tossing within
Every wave when it comes
Is a kick in my gut
And the men say it's God killing me

Draw your phones on the scene
So my family can see
My mouth kissing the dirt with bled lips
There is mud in my tongue
For the deed I've not done
You can break every bone but not me

But not me, but not me
But not me, but not me
You can break every bone
But not me

Take the rage in your gaze
As you raze off my face
You can burn all my clothes with belief
If you think bliss awaits
When you pass through the gates
Know that nobody's watching but me

Mother cover your hair
Don't you lower your stare
Let your hands wrap themselves around me
Every limb that's been torn
In your voice is reborn
I'm the sound in your throat, yes it's me

Yes it's me, yes it's me
Yes it's me, yes it's me
I'm the sound in your voice, yes it's me
