Roll away your stone, I’ll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don’t leave me alone at this time,
For I am afraid of what I will discover inside
You told me that I would find a hole,
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal,
And all the while my character it steals
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
It seems that all my bridges have been burned,
But, you say that's exactly how this grace thing works
It’s not the long walk home
that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive with the restart
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
Stars hide your fires,
And these here are my desires
And I will give them up to you this time around
And so, I’ll be found
with my steak stuck in this ground
Marking its territory of this newly impassioned soul
hide your fires,
these are my desires
And I will give them up to you this time around
So, I’ll be found
with my steak stuck in this ground
Marking its territory of this newly impassioned soul
But you, you've gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don’t leave me alone at this time,
For I am afraid of what I will discover inside
You told me that I would find a hole,
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal,
And all the while my character it steals
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
It seems that all my bridges have been burned,
But, you say that's exactly how this grace thing works
It’s not the long walk home
that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive with the restart
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
Stars hide your fires,
And these here are my desires
And I will give them up to you this time around
And so, I’ll be found

Mumford and Sons - Roll Away Your Stone
Sometimes, it's just a song which describes your soul. Sometimes, there are no words but your own silence to listen to. And sometimes, you don't even need to collect the splinters of your broken heart; but just step on them and walk away.

I like it :)
the last lines especially. But don't you think, if you decide to walk away, your heart has already automatically started healing, and is with you? Why step over your own heart's splinters? :)
keep it with yourself, where it's best protected. It's YOUR heart after all :)
When you decide to walk away, you give up to the one and only Time, maybe to heal or maybe to give you a new, more stronger one. Stepping over those splinters help release pain, Ashna. Keeping with me gives more distress. It's better to let go. It WAS my heart after all.
(I don't know what I am saying. Liberal imbecile philosophy maybe.)
The song was good, and deep. Perfect companion to a soul in one of those times...
I agree with Ashna about the fragments of your heart. If you leave them behind, you'll never know if you could get them back together again.
Collect those splinters and keep them close, maybe you'll get a glue that would fix that broken heart some day.
Thanks Usama. I wish I find my glue someday, soon enough. :)
