Emery - Rock, Pebble, Stone lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

You pushed my head under the water

I lost my breath but the skyline called my name

The walls, the walls, the walls, they pulled you in

These miles we've walked and miles we've talked

The first time I am not alone in my heart

My templed self can't find where it began

The dust you'll find beneath my feet

Reminds me of the simple things

When it was only you and me

But now I see, now I see

So we all fall asleep

So we laugh and play

So we drink at need

So we count our time

So we know our key

But it floats away

Nothing seems to stay these days

Fragile and weak, it's been years and now

I get a moment to speak

And all I think about

Is what to say

When you're face to face with nothing

And nothing will escape

The clouds, the clouds, the clouds, they take their shade

We dream that in the billows are answers to this place

Ask me to surrender, and sure it's what I'll take

We broke our breath together, then cursed it out the gate

I'm a son of a farmer

My mother's old as wise

You make your trail with your brothers

Sister, you're not the only one

Head to toe, I'm drowning

I told you not to speak

Frail and fragile, weak and dim

The lifetime on the steep

With the lights to linger

The lights still linger

The lights still linger

The lights still linger

In my eyes

In my eyes

In my eyes...

In my eyes

I'm a son of a farmer

My mother's old as wise

You make your trail with your brothers

Sister, you're not the only one
