I agree, Steve's totally singing "the stones in my way reach to the core"

Neurosis – No River To Take Me Home Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is about death, funeral and afterlife, but I'm not sure (it's NEUROSIS, you can never be sure what's the song about). But some line pretty much fit in:

The stain of my eyes
Burnt deep within
Who will fall?
I asked not to know

- describing the state of being dead

Digging a hole so I can rest
No tears from no river to take me home

- burial of the body



I'm sealed away, you can't touch me now

- sealed away - sealed in a coffin?

Let them come
Be my eyes, lead me on
Lift me out, tear me up, spark to fire
Whatever comes through me I will be

As my body leaves me
I cling to a tree in a dream
I'm screaming to you
Whatever comes through me I will be

- the refrains are my favourite parts of the song, so deep and calm. The second part states loss of the body, while some part of the singer (soul?) is still alive
