Ok so he's definitely saying "I'm my own stone around my neck". Jesse is referring to HIMSELF as the millstone, as in he is weighing himself down. Just because the song's name is Millstone doesn't mean the word is in the song.
Any true Brand New fan that has been with the guys from the beginning and have not just jumped on the band wagon and caught up with the albums knows that Jesse will always refer to HIMSELF as his own worst enemy and his hardest obstacle.
People are getting a little too far into scripture and referring it back to this song. Yes, Jesse talks about God but he also mocks Christians as well. No songs are singly praising/bashing Jesus, it's a mixture of both (obviously).
Point of the song is that he's changed, things have made him into a different person whether it be fame, losing religion, or whatever.
p.s. the suicidal posts are insane. If anyone needs to explain to you as to why this song was never about suicide or any of their other songs then you need to do yourself a big favor and never listen to Brand New again. Jesse loves himself a little too much for that ;)
