If a stone holds you down keep your head above ground

though the foothold can be merciless

in a world not your own it's the weight of the stone

holding me holding you very fast quite fast



It's not the weight of the stone that's holding you down

it's the way it fascinates your mind

and just because it causes you to fall

don't mean it tempts me very much at all

I can see that it feels like a millstone is tied around your neck

but if you come clean and say "I don't have it together"

you can still keep your faith in check



3,7,9,10,12,14 feet- no spineless fellow here

down below 100 more, and not a sign of fear

X marks the spot at 145, a stone dislodged held him fast

how could he know while now alive -13 day would be his last

they tried and tried to bring him to the surface in vain

if a stone holds you down - keep your head above ground

though the foothold can be merciless



For 12 more days - the foothold was merciless

with no possible means of ingress or egress

in the end a paradox was found

the beast that held him was a 10 pound stone

are you afraid - are you afraid?

That where He takes you - is a cold dark lonely place

where it's hard to find his face - hard to find his face

in a world that is not your own



in a world not your own - it's not the weight of the stone
