Under All This Stone

[Verse 1] Boots on ancient steps Dust in every breath I take Torchlight cuts a jagged line Through the weight of all my mistakes Walls press in like old regrets Cracked along the granite veins Every echo knows my name Sends it back in waves [Chorus] I keep going down Down Deeper in the dark Chasing after something that will leave a heavy mark Under all this stone Under all this pressure Maybe I can find A place where I don’t have to hide A piece of me I don’t have to measure [Verse 2] Hands are shaking on the haft Knuckles raw from holding on Mark my path with charcoal scars In case I have to climb back home I touch the cold Uneven wall Feel the fault lines through my skin I’ve been caving in for years Trying not to cave again [Chorus] I keep going down Down Deeper in the dark Chasing after something that will leave a heavy mark Under all this stone Under all this pressure Maybe I can find A place where I don’t have to hide A piece of me I don’t have to measure [Bridge] What if the way out Is further underground What if the first true breath I take Is where there’s almost no sound I’m scared of the silence But I’m tired of the noise So I trade the sky for shadows To hear my own voice (my own voice) [Chorus] I keep going down Down Deeper in the dark Chasing after something that won't leave a heavy mark Under all this stone Under all this pressure Maybe I can find A place where I don’t have to hide A piece of me I don’t have to measure
