These Hurtful Stones

My band's newest song. Lyrics by myself. Enjoy.

By the way, I'm not particularly fond of some of the wording on this one, so this is a pretty rough draft at the moment.


"These Hurtful Stones"

I am a sanctuary.
A haven for your kind.
All the small rejected children
Flushed from the womb like parasites.
I am a missionary.
A gentle beacon of light.
Leading your from troubled waters.
Providing the future that you were denied.

When those who spawned you relinquish their duties.
When your flesh is torn and your life-lines ripped apart.
When the blood stops pumping through your undeveloped heart...

Some say, I'm a raving lunatic.
Some say, I'm a deranged monster.
Yet those who cast these hurtful stones
Are those who abandoned you in the first place.

I seek these helpless victims.
Cast out from this world.
I open my arms to their denied perfection
And offer a home within me.
I walk a lonely path in life.
None choose to follow suit.
These scars and barbs from accusing fingers
Are the burdens of my brood.

I cry silently as the attacks consume me.
My constitution can only be pushed so far.
But the bodies of those helpless children will calm my aching heart...

Some say, I'm an utter madman.
Some say, I'm a psychopath.
Yet those who cast these hurtful stones
Are the bastards that left you to rot in the garbage.

They aim to take my freedom.
They strive to lock me away.
They'll see me hanged for my "transgressions"
Screaming for my blood 'til my final day.

I wait patiently for the mark of my identity.
I'll continue onward until that time.
I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY, I HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIME!

I know my days are numbered.
I see that my life is marked.
Yet if martyrdom is what's required
I'll gladly stare down my chopping block.

When I'm gone, they'll remember a monster.
My headstone will read "psychopath."
Yet, those who cast these hurtful stones
Aborted you and left you to stagnate.

that seems like a good song.keep up the good work and good luck
