"The Stone" lyrics
"The Stone"
(feat. John D'earth & Kronos Quartet)
I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Oh, why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Now, I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear
Oh, unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
Oh but, this weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
Oh, from that fool's mistake and now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be OK
I was just wondering if you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go a long way
To bury the past
For I don't want to pay
Oh, how I wish this
To turn back the clock
And do over again
Now, I'm wondering if you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I'll go alone
I need so
To stay in your arms see you smile hold you close
And now it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Tell me you will

Phish - "Down With Disease" Down with disease
Three weeks in my bed
Trying to stop these demons that keep dancing in my head

Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?

There's another chip you haven't spent

Can we get clean again

Temple Of The Dog - "Hunger Strike" I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
Yeah
But it's on the table
The fire's cooking
And they're farming babies...
