Stone Lips

Lyrics

Verse

Drip... drip... the water calls
A voice without flesh or bone
The deeper it falls
The tighter I'm owned
Gold slips through my fingers
A crown I never owned
The well still lingers
Stone lips, silent and cold

Chorus

Oh, drag me from the blind sorrow
Where no light will follow
What's gone can't be borrowed
Just drowned in the hollow

Verse

They pulled me from the brink
Yet I'm colder than before
I watch the others sink
Was I saved, or just ignored?
The water holds its secrets
Like a grave beneath the ground
In the dark it whispers
What is lost must be found

Bridge

Ice forms on the surface
Mirror of my face
The well knows its purpose
To swallow without trace
Each drop that falls returns
Each breath becomes the deep
The cycle always spins
What drowns will sleep

Chorus

Oh, drag me from the blind sorrow
Where no light will follow
What's gone can't be borrowed
Just drowned in the hollow

Post-Chorus

The well drinks tomorrow
Feeds on yesterday's pain
In this endless hollow
Even memory has no name

Outro

Drip... drip... the water knows
A voice that speaks my name
The well waits... and always will
For the lost to fall again
