Broken Stone Rising

Verse 1

Six years old and the ground gave way

A crack in the field where I used to play

Dirt and stones and the sky went thin

I looked up and nobody knew where I'd been

Pre-Chorus

I counted cracks in the wall above

I named every rock and called it love

I told myself I'd find the way

Before the light could fade to grey

Chorus

Climbing out of the deep dark hole

Scraping my hands on the broken stone

Every inch I take is a story told

No one's gonna leave me alone

Climbing out, out, out

I'm climbing out of the deep dark hole

Post-Chorus

Out, out, out

Higher, higher, higher

Verse 2

My voice went up like a paper kite

But the walls just swallowed every sound

I sang to the beetles in the night

And the moon came spinning round and round

Pre-Chorus

I planted a flag with a piece of thread

I whistled a song in my own head

I told myself I'd find the way

Before the sun forgot the day

Chorus

Climbing out of the deep dark hole

Scraping my hands on the broken stone

Every inch I take is a story told

No one's gonna leave me alone

Climbing out, out, out

I'm climbing out of the deep dark hole

Bridge

My fingers found a root that held

My heart went quiet, my fear went still

One hand up then another one

I saw the stars before the sun

Chorus

Climbing out of the deep dark hole

Scraping my hands on the broken stone

Every inch I take is a story told

No one's gonna leave me alone

Climbing out, out, out

I'm climbing out of the deep dark hole

Outro

I'm out

I'm out

I'm out
