Lyrics
1:01Dressed and grays and blues and yellows
1:15Found it deep in the backyard
1:28Underneath the cruel bent blades
1:41Rock collecting can be so hard
1:57A multicolored promise
2:10I'll one day find them all
2:23I'll lay them all around me
2:35And slowly build a wall
2:46Foamy quartz on milky green
2:58You hold my hand and whispered sometimes
3:11I feel the weight of everything
3:23Your hazel eyes shined in the sunshine
3:38A multicolored promise
3:51Creases map my hands
4:03Pain ground into wisdom
4:16That nobody understands
4:22Relaying all my thoughts until they're warped and frayed
4:32Swallowed up and quickly lost by the rock found on that day
4:43A pure and simple silence a sharp and quelling dream
4:55Pile them high and fill the gaps a dam built to drown the screams
5:12Chipped out from a fossil bed
5:24You hold my hand and whispered sometimes
5:37I've always been haunted by what I've said
5:48I try to be careful where my feet fall
6:02A multicolored promise
6:15Difficult to find
6:26Lived and died and swallowed
6:38And pressed out one more time
6:43One day I'll go down be covered by the dirt
6:53Swallowed up and quickly ground
6:57And added back into this earth
7:03Where I'll sit I'll combine with the others over time
7:15Pressed and polished till I shine
7:19And wait to be an other's find
Dressed and grays and blues and yellows Found it deep in the backyard Underneath the cruel bent blades Rock collecting can be so hard A multicolored promise I'll one day find them all I'll lay them all around me And slowly build a wall Foamy quartz on milky green You hold my hand and whispered sometimes I feel the weight of everything Your hazel eyes shined in the sunshine A multicolored promise Creases map my hands Pain ground into wisdom That nobody understands Relaying all my thoughts until they're warped and frayed Swallowed up and quickly lost by the rock found on that day A pure and simple silence a sharp and quelling dream Pile them high and fill the gaps a dam built to drown the screams Chipped out from a fossil bed You hold my hand and whispered sometimes I've always been haunted by what I've said I try to be careful where my feet fall A multicolored promise Difficult to find Lived and died and swallowed And pressed out one more time One day I'll go down be covered by the dirt Swallowed up and quickly ground And added back into this earth Where I'll sit I'll combine with the others over time Pressed and polished till I shine And wait to be an other's find
