LIKE A STONE I’LL WAIT FOR YOU THERE ALONE,
ALONE
ON A COBWEB AFTERNOON
IN A ROOM FULL OF EMPTINESS BY A
FREEWAY
I CONFESS I WAS LOST IN THE
PAGES OF A BOOK
FULL OF DEATH READING HOW WE’LL
DIE ALONE
AND IF WE'RE GOD WILL LAY TO
REST ANYWHERE WE WANT TO GO
IN YOUR HOUSE, I LONG TO BE
ROOM BY ROOM, PATIENTLY
I’LL WAIT FOR YOU THERE
LIKE A STONE
I’LL WAIT FOR YOU THERE ALONE
AND ON MY DEATH BED
I WILL PREY TO THE GODS AND THE
ANGELS
LIKE A PAGAN TO ANYONE WHO WILL
TAKE ME
TO HEAVEN, TO A PLACE
I WOULD RECALL, I WAS THERE SO
LONG AGO
THE SKY WAS BRUISED, THE WINE
WAS BLED
AND THERE YOU LED ME ON
IN YOUR HOUSE, I LONG TO BE
ROOM BY ROOM, PATIENTLY
I’LL WAIT FOR YOU THERE
LIKE A STONE
I’LL WAIT FOR YOU THERE ALONE,
ALONE
IN ALL I READ, UNTILL THE DAY WAS
GONE
AND I SAT IN REGRET, OF ALL THE
THINGS I’VE DONE
FOR ALL THAT I’VE BLESSED AND ALL
THAT I’VE WRONGED
IN DREAMS UNTILL MY DEATH, I
WILL WONDER ON
IN YOUR HOUSE, I LONG TO BE
ROOM BY ROOM, PATIENTLY
I’LL WAIT FOR YOU THERE
LIKE A STONE
SHOW ME HOW TO LIFE
AND WITH THE EARLY DAWN
MOVING RIGHT ALONG
COULDN'T BUY A EYE FULL OF SLEEP
AND IN THE ACHING NIGHTS UNDER
SATELLITES
I WAS NOT RECEIVED
BUILT WITH STOLEN PARTS
TELEPHONE IN MY HEART
SOMEONE GET ME A PRIEST
TO PUT MY MIND TO BED
THIS RINGING IN MY HEAD
IS THIS A CURE OR IS THIS A
DISEASE?
NAIL IN MY HAND
FROM MY CREATOR
YOU GAVE ME LIFE NOW
SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE
AND IN THE AFTERBIRTH
ON THE QUIET EARTH
LET THE STAINS REMIND YOU
YOU THOUGHT YOU MADE A MAN
YOU BETTER THING AGAIN
BEFORE MY ROLE DEFINES YOU
NAIL IN MY HAND
FROM MY CREATOR
YOU GAVE ME LIFE NOW
SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE
AND IN YOUR WAITING HANDS
I WILL LAND
AND ROLL OUT OF MY SKIN
AND IN YOUR FINAL HOURS
I WILL STAND
READY TO BEGIN
BE YOUESELF
SOMEONE FALLS TO PIECES
 SLEEPING ALL ALONE
BUT SOMEONE KILLS THE PAIN
SPINNING IN THE SILENCE
SHE FINALLY DRIFTS AWAY
BE YOURSELF
IT'S ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU
CAN DO

SOMEONE GETS EXCITED

IN A CHAPEL YARD AND
CATCHES A BOUQUET
ANOTHER LAYS A DOZEN WHITE
ROSES ON A GRAVE

BE YOURSELF
IT'S ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU
CAN DO

SOMEONE FINDS SALVATION IN

EVERYONE
AND ANOTHER ONLY PAIN

SOMEONE TRIES TO HIDE HIMSELF

DOWN INSIDE HIMSELF
HE BREAKS

SOMEONE SWEARS HE'S TRUE TO

LOVE
UNTIL THE END OF TIME
ANOTHER RUNS AWAY

SEPERATE OR UNITED
EMPTY OR INSANE

BE YOURSELF
IT'S ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU
CAN DO
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU
CAN DO
TO BE YOURSELF IS ALL THAT YOU
CAN DO

EVEN WHEN YOU'D PAID ENOUGH,

BEEN PUT UPON OR BEEN HELD UP
EVERY SINGLE MEMORY OF GOOD OR
BAD FACES OF LOVE
DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP TONIGHT
I'M SURE EVERYTHING WILL END UP
ALL RIGHT
EVEN WHEN YOU LOSE
