Cast a Stone
Judgment and Redemption: Unveiling the Depths of Self-Limitation
Lyrics
Judgment is always swift and severe
Judgment is consistently immediate and harsh
The angst burning and sincere
The distress is intense and genuine
For me there is no penance
There is no act of atonement for me
Self -limitation runs deep
Self-restraint is deeply ingrained
And is hereditary
It is a trait passed down through generations
I never earned my keep
I have never earned what sustains me
That's a cross I crave to carry
I desire to bear the burdensome cross
I do not blossom
I do not flourish or thrive
Left to rot
Left abandoned to decay
Time and time and time again
Repeated cycles of experiences
I am first in the line to cast a stone
I am the first to condemn others
Time and time and time again
Continual inclination to criticize
The Bruises will show at whom the stone is thrown
The consequences will reveal the target of criticism
Over time, the pit gets stronger walls
Over time, the emotional defenses become stronger
Over time, I stop to hear your calls
Over time, I become indifferent to your pleas
I have no fight in me
I lack the will to fight
To try to stop
No effort to resist
And when you can't see
In moments of blindness
I go and start to rot
I deteriorate and decay
Masking mud that stains me
Concealing the damage that marks me
Seems to be an arduous task
It seems like a challenging task to cover up the mud
Common sense has failed me
Logical reasoning has let me down
I have questions left to ask
Unanswered questions linger
I do not blossom
I do not thrive or prosper
I left myself to rot
I abandoned myself to decay
