Adam Storme - Stone And Skin

First one You told us who you are “Have no other” Carved like a scar Second Don’t carve you out of stone You don’t fit inside What our hands can own Third word Treat your name like flame Don’t toss it in Every losing game Fourth Breathe Set your tools aside Once a week remember You’re alive These ten lines On stone and skin Old dry dust And air we breathe in Every rule Is a doorway home Ten commandments Teaching hearts to grow Honor The ones who raised your name Even if they broke And dropped their shame Don’t kill In anger or in mind Don’t tear a body Or a soul from time Guard love Don’t steal another’s bed Keep your promise When the vows are said Don’t take What is never yours Hands stay open At each other’s doors These ten lines On stone and skin Old dry dust And air we breathe in Every rule Is a doorway home Ten commandments Teaching hearts to grow Don’t twist the truth Just to win the fight Don’t let your hunger Eat your neighbor’s life Ten quiet whispers In a crowded room Choose them daily And they carry you These ten lines On stone and skin Old dry dust And air we breathe in Every rule Is a doorway home Ten commandments Teaching hearts to grow
