Stonethrower - The Antlers

I threw the first stone, I broke the door

And someone got stuck inside and fell to the floor

And I drove for hours, landlocked and blank

Hills all around me with no one to thank

And when I got back here and climbed up my tree

And nobody saw me, I watched them so carefully

Trapped like mosquitoes fucking blood from your arms

Crushed so serenely without an alarm

But you still walked me back

To the room when it was cold

And we were walking crooked

I kept the copies, I kept receipts

I kept the blisters on the bottom of my feet

Well, I’m your assistant or maybe you’re mine

But either way you see it, we won’t make a dime

Because we don’t want it easy, no, we don’t like the woods

We don’t take precaution when we know that we should

But if we both just admit it, that we both make mistakes

Then I think we can handle all the change and the headaches

But you still got me out

When you kicked me twice

And took the keys and put them in my hands

There’s always something you’re waiting on

But if you just go now, you can leave

You can just go free

I fell asleep, accidentally so

And I didn’t wake up till an hour ago

So I stood in my window, still half-asleep

With the stone in my hand, the criticisms I keep

I can’t write conclusions, they never make sense

'Cause I can’t end a story when I’m still on the fence

So I threw the last stone and that set me free

So I wrote no conclusion and came down from my tree
