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

You run deep in me

Like the place where a river used to be

And I know it was a long time ago

But now all that's left is a sediment and stone

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 churning flow of the river

You are endless

I'm just stone

You are the river

I'm just the stone
