Lyrics
Harden Than Stone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Someday, I will walk away
When time ain't drawing on me like a blade
Back turned to the setting sun
Leaving behind Toronto's incessant hum
'Cause I was born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight
Of a world undone
But I don't mean to be a bother
I don't need you to take my burden away
And I ain't afraid of dying
Cold and alone.
Traipsing though the utter dark
Walking underneath the dead moonlight
Without any great concern
For what I’ve missed or how many bridges have burned
Like a bird who flies
All the way from the north
My heart will roam
In search of warmth
But I don't mean to be a bother
I don't need you to take my burden away
And I ain't afraid of dying
Cold and alone
When my time comes
When I was young
I didn't know too much
I thought that I could rule the world
Then I grew up
I found out life was hard
Harder than stone
