Lyrics: Levi Stoker
Music: Levi Stoker
The rivers looking deep
And the bridges looking long
And I'm carrying a history this way too strong
I've been collecting the losses
And the things I couldn't say
Like a collector of a shadow from the edge of a grave
My coat is hanging heavy
And my shoulders are bent
Under the weight of every dollar
That I never should've spent
There's a drag in my shadow
And a hitch in my stride
Trying to find a place where the broken can hide
Oh, I'm walking with pockets full of stones
The weight of the world sinking into my bones
They want me to sink but I'm learning how to tread
With a heart full of iron and a soul full of lead
Yeah, the water's rising up
But I'm still on my feet
With pockets full of stones I'm finding my beat
I see the people floating by so light and so free
With nothing but a breeze where their spirit ought to be
But I'd rather have the gravity
I'd rather have the load
Than be a hollow-hearted ghost on a paved-over road
Each one of these rocks is a lesson I learned
A piece of the bridge that I should have never burned
Oh, I'm walking with pockets full of stones
The weight of the world sinking into my bones
They want me to sink but I'm learning how to trade
With a heart full of heart and a soul full of lead
The water's rising up
But I'm still on my feet
The pockets full of stones
I'm finding my beat
Keep them heavy
I ain't going under
You can't drown a man who's made of solid rock
I'm the only one left standing at the end of the dark
Pockets full of stones
Carry my home
Never felt so wrong
