In “Stone,” the lover that was left behind reconsiders their decision to stay on Earth. Between their longing for their partner and the growing chaos and unrest surrounding them, they begin to see that leaving might have been the better choice.
[Verse 1]
My well is dry
My words hollow
Promises brittle as my bones
You'll get nothing from me
You're squeezing water from a stone
And I am fool enough to be this alone
[Chorus]
Ain't you supposed to bend?
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind?
Ain't it easier to bend?
[Verse 2]
I am the one who stayed behind
My will is iron, I know
That I haven't learned a thing
From the trouble it's got me in
And my troubles are just starting to begin
[Chorus]
Ain't you supposed to bend?
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind?
Ain't it easier to bend?
[Verse 3]
You run deep in me
Like a place where a river used to be
And I know it was a long time ago
But now all that's left is sediment and stone
[Chorus]
Ain't you supposed to bend?
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind?
Ain't it easier to bend?
[Outro]
You are a diamond and I'm just coal
If you are a river, then I'm just stone
You are flesh and I'm just bone
You are a churnin' river shaping my stone
You are the spring thaw
You are the flow of the river
You are endless and I'm just stone
You are the river
I'm just the stone
