Harder than stone

Someday I will walk away
When time ain´t drawing on me like a blade
Back turned to the setting sun
Leaving behind Toronto´s incessant hum
‘Cause I was born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight
Of a world undone
But I don´t mean to be a bother
I don´t need you to take my burden away
And I ain´t afraid of dying
Cold and alone
Traipsing though the utter dark
Walking underneath the dead moonlight
Without any great concern
For what I´ve missed or how many bridges have burned
Like a bird who flies
Away from the North
My heart will roam
In search of warmth
But I don´t mean to be a bother
I don´t need you to take my burden away
And I ain´t afraid of dying
Cold and alone
When my time comes
When I was young
I didn´t know too much
I thought that I could rule the world
Then I grew up
And found out life was hard
Harder than stone
When time ain´t drawing on me like a blade
Back turned to the setting sun
Leaving behind Toronto´s incessant hum
‘Cause I was born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight
Of a world undone
But I don´t mean to be a bother
I don´t need you to take my burden away
And I ain´t afraid of dying
Cold and alone
Traipsing though the utter dark
Walking underneath the dead moonlight
Without any great concern
For what I´ve missed or how many bridges have burned
Like a bird who flies
Away from the North
My heart will roam
In search of warmth
But I don´t mean to be a bother
I don´t need you to take my burden away
And I ain´t afraid of dying
Cold and alone
When my time comes
When I was young
I didn´t know too much
I thought that I could rule the world
Then I grew up
And found out life was hard
Harder than stone
