I am [bm]out here studying stones
Trying to l[A]earn to be less alive
Using a[G]ll of my will
To keep[A] very still
bm Ch3
Still even on the inside
I've cut a[bm]ll of the pertinent wires
So my [A]eyes can't make that connection
I am [G]holding my breath
I am [A]feigning my death
bm Ch3
When I'm looking in your direction
'Course [D]numb is an old hat
Old as my [C]oldest memories
See [G]that one's my mother
And [A]that one's my father
bm Ch3
And that one in the hat, that's me
It's a [D]skill I'd hoped to abandon
When I [A]got out on the open road
But any more [C]pent up emotion
A Ch3
And I think I'm gonna explode
bm Ch3
There's never been an endeavor so strange
As trying to s[A]low the blood in my veins
To [G]keep my face blank
As a [A]stone that just sank
bm Ch3
Until not a ripple remains
bm Ch3
I am high above the tree line
Sitting [A]cross legged on the ground
When [G]all of the forbidden fruit
has [A]fallen and rotted
bm Ch3
That's when I'm gonna come down
'Course [D]numb is an old hat
Old as my [C]oldest memories
See [G]that one's my mother
And [A]that one's my father
bm Ch3
And that one in the hat, that's me
It's a [D]skill I'd hoped to abandon
When I [A]got out on the open road
But any more [C]pent up emotion
A Ch3
And I think I'm gonna explode
