Tourniquet - Claustrospelunker lyrics

[Words & Music: Ted Kirkpatrick] If a stone holds you down Keep your head above ground Though the foothold can be merciless In a world not your own Its the wieght of the stone Holding me, holding you Very fast, quite fast Its not the wieght of the stone that's holding you down Its the way it fascinates your mind And just because it causes you to fall Don't mean it tempts me very much at all I can see that it feels like a millstone is tied around your neck But if you come clean and say,"I don't have it together" You can still keep your faith in check 3, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14 feet No spineless fellow here Down below 100 more and not a sign of fear X marks the spot at 145 a stone dislodged held him fast How could he know while now alive 13th day would be his last They tried and tried to bring him to the surface in vain If a stone holds you down Keep your head above ground Though the foothold can be merciless For 12 more days the foothold was merciless With no possible means of ingress or egress In the end a paradox was found The beast that held him was a 10 pound stone Are you afraid - are you afraid? That where he takes you is a cold, dark lonely place Where its hard to find his face - hard to find his face In a world that is not your own In a world not your own - it's not the wieght of the stone [Repeat Line]
