TITLE: I’m Stone

[Verse 1]
I’m stone, but rolling still [6]
With moonlight in my bones [6]
I lost the map to me [6]
And found myself in stones [6]

How did I get here? [5]
And where is here, exactly? [7]
The world forgot my name [6]
My shoes replied politely [7]

There’s thunder in my ears [6]
A blue rose in my hand [6]
An orc in evening wear [6]
Who barely understands [6]

A black elephant smiles [6]
In the middle of the room [7]
Like, “Sir, you look magnificent… [7]
But slightly out of tune.” [6]

[Pre-Chorus]
My queen wrote very sweetly [7]
“Come visit my palace” [6]
I heard the hinges laughing [7]
I polished my chalice [6]

The moon began to whisper [7]
The walls began to glow [6]
I said, “I’m only stone, dear…” [7]
She said, “Yes, I know.” [5]

[Chorus]
Stone like an orc [4]
Stone like an orc [4]
Too proud to fall apart [6]
Not before midnight [5]

Stone like an orc [4]
Stone like an orc [4]
My queen, open the gate [6]
To your castle of love [6]

Stone like an orc [4]
Stone like an orc [4]
I’m heavy, strange, and true [6]
But I’m rolling back to you [7]

[Verse 2]
I walk in slow motion [6]
With courage made of foam [6]
One foot chasing glory [6]
One begging to go home [6]

Your palace has echoes [6]
My shadow takes a bow [6]
The elephant coughs softly [7]
Like, “Maybe not right now.” [6]

Blue rose in my left hand [6]
No plan in the other [6]
I forgot the password [6]
But remembered your color [7]

I don’t know the road [5]
But I know your name [5]
And even stones get warmer [7]
When invited to the flame [7]

[Pre-Chorus]
My queen wrote very sweetly [7]
“Come visit my palace” [6]
I heard the hinges laughing [7]
I polished my chalice [6]

The moon began to whisper [7]
The walls began to glow [6]
I said, “I’m only stone, dear…” [7]
She said, “Yes, I know.” [5]

[Chorus]
Stone like an orc [4]
Stone like an orc [4]
Too proud to fall apart [6]
Not before midnight [5]

Stone like an orc [4]
Stone like an orc [4]
My queen, open the gate [6]
To your castle of love [6]

[Bridge]
If I’m a ruin, keep me [7]
Where your warm windows glow [6]
If I’m locked-up thunder [6]
Give me one breeze to go [6]

I’m stone, I’m stone [4]
But cracking into bloom [6]
Not lost inside your darkness [7]
Just dancing with the moon [6]

[Final Chorus]
Stone like an orc [4]
Stone like an orc [4]
Too proud to fall apart [6]
Not before midnight [5]

Stone like an orc [4]
Stone like an orc [4]
My queen, open the gate [6]
To your castle of love [6]

Stone like an orc [4]
Stone, so stone [3]
Can’t remember [4]
Why I’m so stone [4]

Stone like an orc [4]
Stone, so stone [3]
If love is the kingdom [6]
Then roll me home [4]
