Worry Stone Lyrics

The weight of your eyes

Growing greater with time

Relax your mind

Fall asleep and be free

Show me

The bleakest picture

And I'll give it a frame

Adorned with sweet ribbons

From my mouth

So eloquent

In the art of persuasion

That I fail to notice

The taste of

Snake oil

On my own silver tongue

I've always had a way with words

But this time the words have

Got a way with me

Hypnotized

In a way that I can't shake

Have I been lying to myself

Whatever helps

To keep the dream alive

Keeping safe and sound

From the world outside

So tell me

Where's the line

Between hope and denial

Finding truth in delusion

By forcing a smile

Nothing's getting better

We're just staying home

This will all blow over

Find your worry stone

Pacing in the kitchen

Talking myself down

Found my new religion

Blocking it all out

Keep on dreaming

Keep on dreaming

This too shall pass

Hypnotized

In a way that I can't shake

Have I been lying to myself

Whatever helps

To keep the dream alive

Keeping safe and sound

From the world outside

So tell me

Where's the line

Between hope and denial

I'll bide my time

Til all the wells run dry

Emerging when I am

Not hypnotized anymore
