Stone Throne

You return before you arrive
I hide amongst the spies
Whose notes so ever linger
you'll hear them when you get there
The way will not be posted
for eyes can never know this
They sing in but a whisper
a prayer that can't be chosen
I got a chip on more
than just my shoulder
For I was raised to waste
to throw it all away everyday
so now I stay to clean the plate
You're the poster don't like the wall
I'm the blade don't care what it saw
You're the way don't know where it go
I'm the road unto the stone throne
Lost count of all the days gave
to a purpose shadowed in shade
Can't think to know why you're here
I carry on in their care
Though space is violent at least it's quiet
Up here nothing's wrong floating in the pond
So hide my keys and lock me inside
The most I hope is for a half-life
The friends I have are with me tonight
They look upon me with an endless eye
Sewn shadow grown long to grab the tail
To take and place upon the high shelf
Run through my head oh it's a hot spell
A soul I hold high on the helve
On the helve

When I go you gonna know
what it's like to be lonely
Take all those days that we made
and put them on that old plate
I like 'cause I thought it'd be the only
one that I'd need
I didn't want to but now I got two
When I come you gonna run
back to where you came from
Songs on your tongue are unsung
so spit them out and rip me up
The gifts that I give
they're gonna die eventually
'Cause they're real
and what's real it don't heal
it's real it just feel
Hot temper love is cold one of us has got to go
Tell me you told me so go out like Romeo
Never show up on time why do I even try
Love ain't lost no it's blind
So when you go I'm gonna know
what it's like to be happy
How could this work you take hurt
and turn it into something worse
So tell me how to look
at something that I just can't see
You're so mean
so take my ring and set me free

Meet me down at the Mama Rama
ex-wives, widows, maybe even grandmas
got hitched had kids like a son or daughter
back when you was probably just a little hotter
I catch you shopping at the grocery store
so refined but I bet you was a little whore
Got a husband? Yeah, I heard he's never home
gonna rob his Peter to my Paul
ma ma ma ma ma ma Mama Rama
I seen you eating down at Tijuanas
tight skirt and shirt the kind that make me wanna
drink rum and get dumb try to get up on it
all night and probably again in the morning
I'm numb when I catch that scent upon ya
knocked out choked up as i hit nirvana
So call a sitter yeah ditch the kids lets play piranha
you'll love the way I get to chompin' on ya
ma ma ma ma ma ma Mama Rama

A tool of the mouth in the talk it's the speech
A hole in the soul now your role is to teach
The shade in a cave on the stone lay the seed
It's not the us it's the we
A side of the step in the fall it's the show
A fall of the law now this wind isn't cold
A mage in the wake of the blood in the grave
That you have to fill in today
A slight of the voodoo hand it's a shot
Particular phrase would invoke what is not
Cane break neck snap the linoleum mop
to return what was bought
Your mind is a plague of inimitable shame
Torn farther at half in the monocle way
Laid waste to a love that you'd have me to gave
and become what has came
Come fourth of the flame for the first will be damned
The cannery froth of the wave that is man
Whip crack half moon of the back that would bend
to slayeth the land
A life in this time is a kingdom of rule
Step in clock out now it's your time to choose
Breath faint on the back of a neck that you grew
as he takes it from you
