resting stone

and as my forefather's forefather's gun shoots
into the earth all that i feel is the ground move
gun powder reeking the air all around you
all i can see under the sin is your virtue
but now you're lookin' away lookin' away
lookin' like you lost something
just talk about it
now you're lookin' my way lookin' my way
lookin' like you just can't breathe
now hear me out
i can see your broken soul
underneath the light inside your eyes you're feelings so alone
let me in let me in
let me be your resting stone
let me be the light inside you
let me in your hallowed home
let me in
and as your forefather's forefathers die off
into the ground all that i hear is the sound of
unspoken words in the hearts of their daughters
cursing their graves under the love that they harbor
but now you're lookin' away lookin' away
lookin' like you lost something
just talk about it
now you're lookin' my way lookin' my way
lookin' like you just can't breathe
now hear me out
i can see your broken soul
underneath the light inside your eyes you're feelings so alone
let me in let me in
let me be your resting stone
let me be the light inside you
let me in your hallowed home
let me in
and as my forefather's forefather's gun shoots
into the earth all that i feel is the ground move
gun powder reeking the air all around you
all i can see under the sin is your virtue
i can see your broken soul
underneath the light inside your eyes you're feelings so alone
let me in let me in
let me be your resting stone
let me be the light inside you
let me in your hallowed home
let me in
and as your forefather's forefathers die off
into the ground all that i hear is the sound of
unspoken words in the hearts of their daughters
cursing their graves under the love that they harbor
