Stone's Throw

STONES THROW (CAPO 4)

Cast a stone for every mile
Thought about but never made
Gathered the stones and built a pile
Left the pile in it's place

Walked away with no regrets
Or second thoughts about the past
Just unmade memories left behind
And a chance to try again

But if it sinks in
Before I cast out
It's bound to weigh me down

Like a ton of bricks
It's sinking in
I can feel it now

But I'm willing
To learn from this
If that's what it takes

I'll give it
All I got to give
Until my spirit breaks

Cast a stone for every time
I thought to change but never did
Gathered the stones and built a shrine
Until the shrine became to big

Then I left it all to rot
Forgot about all my mistakes
I started gathering again
Until a new shrine takes its place

But if I give in
While I wait it out
It's bound to bring me down

Like an anchor
I'm sinking down
And even faster now

But I'm willing
To let go of this
If I can find the strength

Then maybe I'll be
Weightless
And I'll surface again

Cast a stone for ever hour
I let the seconds slip away
One by one they built a tower
Turned the minutes into days

But if I could get these seconds back
Would they still go to waste
Could I have what I never had
If I never let these seconds fade

Time spreads thin
Like a virus
Squeezes out the life

Creates a state
Of emptiness
Grows like a vine

So let me bleed out
Like I'm dying
Put my bones to rest

I'm weak now
But I'm fighting
Ain't got much left

Cast a stone for every mile
Thought about but never made
Gathered the stones and built a pile
Left the pile in it's place
