Claustrospelunker

Tourniquet

Composed by: Ted Kirkpatrick
If a stone holds you down - keep your head above ground 
though the foothold can be merciless 
in a world not your own - it's the weight of the stone 
holding me, holding you - very fast - quite fast 

It's not the weight of the stone that's holding you down 
it's the way it fascinates your mind 
and just because it causes you to fall 
don't mean it tempts me very much at all 
I can see that it feels like a millstone is tied around your neck 
but if you come clean and say "I don't have it together" 
you can still keep your faith in check 

3,7,9,10,12,14 feet - no spineless fellow here 
down below 100 more, and not a sign of fear 
X marks the spot at 145, a stone dislodged held him fast 
how could he know while now alive - 13th day would be his last 
they tried and tried to bring him to the surface in vain 
if a stone holds you down - keep your head above ground 
though the foothold can be merciless 

For 12 more days - the foothold was merciless 
with no possible means of ingress or egress 
in the end a paradox was found 
the beast that held him was a 10 pound stone 
are you afraid - are you afraid? 
That where He takes you - is a cold dark lonely place 
where it's hard to find his face - hard to find his face 
in a world that is not your own 

in a world not your own - it's not the weight of the stone
