Lyrics:

“Millstone” describes how Lacy used to be a good person, but has changed and is now on his own.
I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care, I was being cared for
Made sure I showed it to those that I love
I used to sleep without a single stir
'Cause I was about my father's work

Well, take me out tonight (Whoa)
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
I'm my own stone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

I used to pray like God was listening
I used to make my parents proud
I was the glue that kept my friends together
Now they don't talk and we don't go out
I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it

Well, take me out tonight (Whoa)
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
I'm my own stone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Well, throw me that lifeline
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
I'm my own stone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

They never hit their brakes
There's no time to see
He just ran out in the street
'Does anybody know his name?'
'I think I recognize him'
He sure as hell paid for that mistake
Whoa, whoa
Well, take me out tonight (Whoa)
(I used to be such a burning example)
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
(I used to be so original)
I'm my own stone around my neck (Whoa)
(I used to care, I was being cared for)
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
(Made sure I showed it to those that I love)
Well, save my life tonight (Whoa)
(I used to pray like God was listening)
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
(I used to make my parents proud)
I'm my own stone around my neck (Whoa)
(I was the glue that kept my friends together)
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
(Now they don't talk and we don't go out)
