Antics

I saw you stack stones
Beneath the trees
An antidote for everything
As the days roll up
There's a poison that fills our cup
And we stop looking to the starry ink
Walking in the fields where the spirits ring
We don't hear voices from the past
Roll across our feet in October grass
Singing of the stones

Sun sets on some hallowed ground
Go back in time and spiral down
To circles of stone on the English plains
And trace the wall on China's face
Still we forget what we know
And pretend that we're flesh and bone
And not running around
In somebody's dream
Abandoned now

Stacked against the fears we're facing
Our secrets lost in rock formations
To tie the bitter myth together
We'll live forever for however Long
We stack stones

There's a river running fast
Michigan stones rising on its back
It's like the heart always on your sleeve
Strong and helpless, flowing free
Cause all they'll ever know
Of our antics and titanic hopes
Are the stones that we stack
And the bones that we give back
When we've flown
To the sun

We stack stones
We stack stones
