The Mountain

I took my heart in my hands
 And placed it inside the mountain
 Because I can't stand to think
 That the strongest roots won't save you when the bough breaks
 ♪
 I count the days on my hands
 That I've sat inside this mountain
 And watched the world decay
 Beaten by the wind and fire and rain
 Plagues and pestilence, they fill my head
 Trapped in the finality of every end
 When every tear shed becomes a sea
 For you to sink in
 You have the same disease
 And the contagion spreads
 The same disease as me
 The curse of empathy
 The curse of empathy
 ♪
 All hail the mountain
 Cold and callous, bastion of blood and stone
 All hail the mountain
 Alter and antidote
 You have the same disease
 And the contagion spreads
 The same disease as me
 The curse of empathy
 The curse of empathy
 The curse of empathy
 ♪
 Have I just become a monolith
 Somewhere in between gallant and grotesque?
 Well, I could never find peace in emptiness
 With these drums of war pounding in my chest
 Pounding in my chest
 ♪
 We're not concerned, just mad
 ♪
 I refuse to come down
 Leave me inside my mountain
 Leave me inside my mountain
 Leave me inside my mountain
 ♪
 All hail the mountain
 Alter and antidote
 All hail the mountain
 Alter and antidote
