Of Mice & Men

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 (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 SongtexteAlter and antidote You have the same disease And the contagion spreads The same disease (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 Aus Songtexte Mania
