lyrics

The grass is green at the bottom of the hill
The earth is quiet and it's still where I lay my head
And all I want to do is rest
Catch my breath in my heaving chest
Well my legs are heavy and my hands are numb
My skin is blistered from the sun
Why can't I just stop a bit
Don't you know I'm sick of it

Ah stop
On my knees and on my feet
There's a great big rock awaiting me
Man, it's heavy, it weighs a lot
But this big old rock is all I've got
Way up high, miles to go
I push so hard it moves so slow
On my knees and on my feet
This rock is now my destiny

When I get there this I know
The rock wont stay its going to roll
When I get there this I know
The rock won't stay its going to roll

You know the thing about this gig
The gig's a game and the game is rigged
Maybe it's that I'm just too smart
I figured things out that I should not
But when you are as smart as me
You see behind Eternity
Eternity is just a game
A game that's rigged, a game of blame

Ah stop
On my knees and on my feet
There's a great big rock awaiting me
Man, it's heavy, it weighs a lot
But this big old rock is all I've got
Way up high, miles to go
I push so hard it moves so slow
On my knees and on my feet
This rock is now my destiny

When I get there this I know
The rock wont stay its going to roll
When I get there this I know
The rock won't stay its going to roll
When I get there this I know
The rock wont stay its going to roll
When I get there this I know
The rock won't stay its going to roll

about

13 Howell image

13 Howell Minneapolis, Minnesota

In thomassonbomb, 13 Howell has crafted a lost-wax collection of songs about loss, detachment, recovery, and hope. Each of the album’s 13 tracks is a thomasson, a freestanding oddity made of scar tissue, each telling its own story. These songs are funny and dark, gentle and sweet, intensely serious and faintly ridiculous. Thomassons are haunting memories of a former world. ... more
