The Antlers - Stonethrower lyrics

I threw the first stone, I broke the door And someone got stuck inside and fell to the floor And I drove for hours, landlocked and blank Hills all around me with no one to thank Now when I got back here and climbed up my tree And nobody saw me, I watched them so carefully Trapped like mosquitoes s**ing blood from your arms Crushed so serenely, without an alarm But you still want me back In the room when it was cold And we were locked and broken I count the copies, I kept receipts I kept the blisters on the bottom of my feet Well I'm your a**istant or maybe you're mine But either way you see it, we won't make a dime Because we don't want it easy, we don't like the plot We don't take precaution when we know that we should But if we both just admit it, that we both make mistakes I think we can handle all the change and the headache But you still got me out When you kicked me twice And took the keys and put them in my hands There's always something you're waiting on If you just go now, you can leave You can just go free I fell asleep, accidentally so And I didn't wake up 'til an hour ago So I stood in my window, still half-asleep With a stone in my hand, the criticisms I keep I can't write conclusions; they never make sense 'Cause I can't end a story when I'm still on the fence So I threw the last stone and that set me free So I wrote no conclusion and came down from my tree
