Elizabeth Martin - Skipping Stones Lyrics

I've been thinking about you and me
To me, me's easy to see
You're tangled in time
A mess of proteins luck and grime

We all know, a skipping stone
Across the ocean, has nowhere to go
And the waves, rolling around
Make it stop, before it figures out

It sinks down, down, down to the ocean floor
Never finds out, out, out what it was for
No one knows it lays there now
It never figures out, we never figure out

A reluctance to change
A persistence of strange
And you're falling through the cracks
What a time to turn our backs

A plucked rose, white as snow
Stuck in a vase has nowhere to grow
And the eyes that wander by
Praise the beauty of a lesser kind

Petals fall, fall, fall in time
Thorns lose their bite
Eyes watch, watch, watch and normalize
They fall in time, it's normalized

Fall in time
Fall in time
Fall in time
Fall in time
Fall in time
Fall in time
Fall in time
Fall in time

Petals fall, fall, fall in time
Thorns lose their bite
Eyes watch, watch, watch and normalize
They fall in time, it's normalized
