Stone

My well is dry My words hollow Promises brittle as my bones You'll get nothing from me You're squeezing water from a stone And I am fool enough to be this alone Ain't you supposed to bend? Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? Ain't it easier to bend? I am the one who stayed behind My will is iron I know That I haven't learned a thing from the trouble it's got me in And my troubles are just starting to begin Ain't you supposed to bend? Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? Ain't it easier to bend? You run deep in me Like a place where a river used to be And I know it was a long time ago But now all that's left is sediment and stone Ain't you supposed to bend? Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? Ain't it easier to bend? You are a diamond and I'm just coal If you are a river then I'm just stone You are flesh and I'm just bone You are a churning river shaping my stone You are the spring thaw You are the flow of the river You are endless I'm just stone You are the river I'm just the stone --- Stone - Murder by Death
