Single book of matches,
Gonna burn what's
standing in the way.
Roaring down the mountain,
Now they're calling on
the fire brigade.
Bury all the pictures,
and tell the kids
that I'm okay.
You'll remember
me for today.
I won't ever be your cornerstone.
I won't ever be your cornerstone.
All the black inside me
Is slowly seeping
from the bone.
Is slowly dying, or
it's gone.
And drunkards seem
to all agree,
Once the show gets started,
It's bound to be a
sight to see.
I won't ever be your cornerstone.
Ab-A-E
I don't wanna be here holding on.
Ab-A
I won't ever be your cornerstone.
I won't ever be your cornerstone.
I don't wanna be here holding on.
I won't ever be your cornerstone.
