mountain 03:53
i’l be your skeleton but bare no bones watch as they turn to dust a lonely old car thats salvaged from this wreckage body’s all covered in rust i am a building that is weathered no shielding see my foundations shake into this nightmare you will threaten to kill me s quick now must away cause you'll always be there to remind me of just how far we may have come and you'll warn me look out behind me and see this man on the run cause i am a rock and i am a mountain and iv towered over all your seas and taken a drink out youth from the fountain but i’m older than iv ever been so look at the clock and see the seconds they’re counting the time away for us to greave.... this time away for us to greave i am the ink thats drawn in your tattoo but sunlight makes me fade i am a time bomb that is constantly ticking but i refuse to detonate cause i am the food thats buried deep in your closet well passed sell by date and i am the thread thats sown into your pocket caught ripped torn away... caught ripped torn away and you'll always be there to remind me of just how far that we might have come and you'll warn me beware cause behind me is this man on the run cause i am a rock and i am a mountain and iv towered over all your seas and taken a drink out youth from the fountain but i’m older than iv ever been so look at the clock and see the seconds they counting the time away for us to greave this time away for us to greave i am a mountain i am a stream
