about

Those who want to own us only have the control we allow them. Emotional calumny is a foe that is hard to see but is not invisible. If you continue to allow it, you share the blame.

lyrics

You should have left
You know it now
I never said I'd idly bow
to your dark controlling shades
and the threats you never made
but projected, I'm protected
I am stone
You're too profane
only in time could I be tamed
But in time and time again
your glancing blows were ineffective
I pretended, not defended you...

your subtle nudges
precise lies
and scheming judgments
But I am stone
something you are not
you wear down

misleading gestures
untrue smiles
and murky vestures
But I am stone
something you cannot
wear down

You should have left
You know it too
and bear the scars I left on you
when you turned to walk away
like the threats you always made
I reject them, can't respect them
I am stone
and you are shame
I never asked to join your game
never asked and share the blame
your sad apologies unwanted
not expected, I deflected, you

you cannot break me
I am stone
