The Mountain
I took my heart in my hands
And placed it inside the mountain
Because I can't stand to think
That the strongest roots won't save you when the bough breaks
I count the days on my hands
That I've sat inside this mountain
And watched the world decay
Beaten by the wind and fire and rain
Plagues and pestilence, they fill my head
Trapped in the finality of every end
When every tear shed becomes a sea
For you to sink in
You have the same disease
And the contagion spreads
The same disease as me
The curse of empathy
The curse of empathy
All hail the mountain
Cold and callous, bastion of blood and stone
All hail the mountain
Alter and antidote
You have the same disease
And the contagion spreads
The same disease as me
The curse of empathy
The curse of empathy
The curse of empathy
Have I just become a monolith
Somewhere in between gallant and grotesque?
Well, I could never find peace in emptiness
With these drums of war pounding in my chest
Pounding in my chest
We're not concerned, just mad
I refuse to come down
Leave me inside my mountain
Leave me inside my mountain
Leave me inside my mountain
All hail the mountain
Alter and antidote
All hail the mountain
Alter and antidote
And placed it inside the mountain
Because I can't stand to think
That the strongest roots won't save you when the bough breaks
I count the days on my hands
That I've sat inside this mountain
And watched the world decay
Beaten by the wind and fire and rain
Plagues and pestilence, they fill my head
Trapped in the finality of every end
When every tear shed becomes a sea
For you to sink in
You have the same disease
And the contagion spreads
The same disease as me
The curse of empathy
The curse of empathy
All hail the mountain
Cold and callous, bastion of blood and stone
All hail the mountain
Alter and antidote
You have the same disease
And the contagion spreads
The same disease as me
The curse of empathy
The curse of empathy
The curse of empathy
Have I just become a monolith
Somewhere in between gallant and grotesque?
Well, I could never find peace in emptiness
With these drums of war pounding in my chest
Pounding in my chest
We're not concerned, just mad
I refuse to come down
Leave me inside my mountain
Leave me inside my mountain
Leave me inside my mountain
All hail the mountain
Alter and antidote
All hail the mountain
Alter and antidote
