everything for a stone

you made another mistake

you thought that you could hide

every bitter emotion

that just keeping quiet

and it is louder than words

and it is colder than ice

with every feeling fermented

you won't waste it inside

and you remember innocent times when your blood flowed

and you forget it before you can cry and your tears choke

no

you're living far away from home you know

and you're trading mountain range for a stone you know

you toss the hook in the lake

hoping to catch one nice

but you go home empty handed

and you quit your first try

and every morning you wake

you count your failures and you just wanna die

and everybody reminds you

it ain't easy to try

and you remember you wished you could fly as a child does

and the buildings are tickets alright and you might go

no

you're living far away from home you know

and you're trading everything for a stone you know
