granite hail.

the earth turns slower now.
i'll cry out to the stones,
for the explanation and the how.
but they don't know,
they're only solid ground.
and you got to break to find a way out.

you crush me like granite hail
falling from the sky.
i'm trying to dodge you,
but you're everywhere.
you're all i see tonight.
you crush me.

if we are just meteors,
stones flung through space,
then my heart is a crater,
some strange vacant place.

so turn off the lights
and turn up the flame.
light this heart on fire,
until it melts away.

even granite burns,
if the furnace won't be dettered
burn this coal heart into diamond,
don't worry about
the pressure that is needed.
it's in your eyes.
it's in your eyes.
you crush me.

you crush me like granite hail
falling from the sky.
i'm trying to dodge you,
but you're everywhere.
you're all i see tonight.
you crush me.

granite hail fall down.
diamond rain pour now.
i have nowhere to run.

you crush me.
you crush me.
