Stone by Stone

In your eyes I never was a part that you could love
In the hands of your abuse I never learned to like
You said you’d never hurt me yet the pain is all I know
Another day, another fight — they never seem to stop
Controlling me, devour me and beat me up inside
Never let your violent grin escape my troubled mind
Banished for life from my heart
Blaming myself for your faults
Learning to reap what you’ve sown
Stone by stone
The burning rage inside my veins is all I can perceive
I never cried, not ever once, as pain would show the way
You learned me this, and nothing more, and left me incomplete
I kiss the scars, to feed the flame and play the waiting game
To show you what I’m made of and to justify my rage
Here I stand in hateful anger, looking down on you
Feeding the fire with fire
Breaking your bones with my hate
Learning to reap what you’ve sown
Stone by stone
Fueling your passion for pain
Releasing my anguish on you
Learning to reap what you’ve sown
