The Heaviest Stone

It's the heaviest stone to throw
Being told that it's nearly time to go
When you know that just beyond the shroud
There's a gala going on but you're not allowed
For the first time in your life
It's the last time in your life
It's the heaviest stone to throw
How many ways can the world say no?
When all your tickets got punched long ago
There's little left but your ego
All the women do the government
While the men disappear in the fundament
The bold and courageous thoughts of youth
Seem silly and ridiculous beside the truth
But when you gather up to do the sum
They're better than nothing now you're having none
Rash and reckless boy
Temerarious young man Everybody gets a sunset
Everybody gets ruined
Everybody gets to fall apart upon the stage
But you rarely if ever get to choose
when... It's the heaviest stone to throw
When you can't even laugh on the gallows When
none of it was worth it and they really let you know
You barely even cast a shadow
You never really cast a shadow
