like a stone [bracketed] audioslave
on a cobweb afternoon
in a room full of emptiness
by a freeway i confess
i was lost in the pages
of a book full of death
reading how we ll die alone
and if we re good we ll lay to rest
anywhere we want to go
in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i ll wait for you there
like a stone i ll wait for you there
on my deathbed i will pray
to the gods and the angels
like a pagan to anyone
who will take me to heaven
to a place i recall
i was there so long ago
the sky was bruised
the wine was bled
and there you lead me on
in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i ll wait for you there
like a stone i ll wait for you there
and on i read
until the day was gone
and i sat in regret
of all the things i ve done
for all that i ve blessed
and all that i ve wronged
in dreams until my death
i will wonder on
in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i ll wait for you there
like a stone i ll wait for you there
