This is the burden I carry
And it drags me down into this earth
It has made me its prisoner
From the moment of my birth
It defines me for what I am
It is the essence of my worth
This is the rock
This is the rock
This is the rock
This the secret I live with
One that nobody knows
It starts as a seedling
And then it mutates and then it grows
It has lofted me to my highs
And buried me in its lows
This is the nightmare I live
Through all of my waking days
Just when I think I am done with it
It unleashes a new phase
It has got me now
Now and for always
