Skipping Stones

from Of And Beyond by Old Accusers

lyrics

I've been skipping stones
Watching things fly, tasting the dirt
It sits on my tongue the same way it always has
I've been skipping stones
Riding the ripples in the water, letting them carry me to places unfamiliar
I've been standing with cement legs
Hoping for light, praying for a heat to dry this up
I've been skipping stones, but what good does it do?
As I wade in this lake, my feet search for feeling, a brush or a bite
But things stay stagnant, eroding with time
Nomads of the same mistakes, I know that we are the same breed
I've always made those mistakes myself
We climbed the mountain, just to slide back down
We sliced ourselves, and then we drank the blood
And we tasted every definition of bittersweet
The things we said about where we are and where we need to be
The things we said about singing
The things we said about what we have become
The things we said about struggling
The tension is breaking my bones
