I'm the stone that cannot break
I'm a fuck you cannot fake
It's the only way I seem to know
Not the road you wanna cross
Not the blade you wanna touch
But if gambling's your game
Then you might not want to play

[Chorus:]
On & on I feel the same old pain
If you see me step aside
You wouldn't last one day
In my skin
In my skin

All I think about is you
And the place you brought me to
It's the only way I need to know
Can you swim with irons on
Will the bleeding be too much
I'm the wound that never mends
In a world that never ends

[Chorus]

If you can see me you can need me
I can be your friend
Then you could take it I could make it
Last until the end
Time won't wait for me
Words perfected made defective
Face to face but never eye to eye
Sympathizing compromising not unlimited
I think it's time I simplify the cold alternatives
Time to make your peace
Time your God would so appreciate

[Chorus]
