Claustrospelunker Lyrics - Singles - Tourniquet

[Words & Music: Ted Kirkpatrick] 

If a stone holds you down 

Keep your head above ground 

Though the foothold can be merciless 

In a world not your own 

Its the wieght of the stone 

Holding me, holding you 

Very fast, quite fast 

Its not the wieght of the stone that's holding you down 

Its the way it fascinates your mind 

And just because it causes you to fall 

Don't mean it tempts me very much at all 

I can see that it feels like a millstone is tied around your neck 

But if you come clean and say,"I don't have it together" 

You can still keep your faith in check 

3, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14 feet 

No spineless fellow here 

Down below 100 more and not a sign of fear 

X marks the spot at 145 a stone dislodged held him fast 

How could he know while now alive 

13th day would be his last 

They tried and tried to bring him to the surface in vain 

If a stone holds you down 

Keep your head above ground 

Though the foothold can be merciless 

For 12 more days the foothold was merciless 

With no possible means of ingress or egress 

In the end a paradox was found 

The beast that held him was a 10 pound stone 

Are you afraid - are you afraid? 

That where he takes you is a cold, dark lonely place 

Where its hard to find his face - hard to find his face 

In a world that is not your own 

In a world not your own - it's not the wieght of the stone [Repeat Line]
