Final Stone Lyrics

Tired, darkened eyes
On the road to where it's light
The blue that fades to green
Is nowhere to be seen
The black veers to yellow
On the left, and to the right
There's that oh, so common trail
Of temptation, tonight

And I take another drink
From the cup that's at my side
Words seem so out of place
And I don't want to talk
I'm due for an explanation
And I know it's only right
But I've succumb to the perils
Of temptation, tonight

Tonight
I just want to be left alone
Tonight
I just want to find my way back home
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
And forget that awful day
When I cast the final stone

Cold, blackened skies
And the radio, tonight
Feel like my only friends
After all's been said, and done
The damage that I've caused
To the ones, I could rely
Has paved it's very own road
To temptation, tonight

And I light another cigarette
As I call her other number
Forgetting all I've said
Hoping everything might change
Then she recognized my voice
Just after I'd pulled over
And she hung up the phone
Leaving the gate wide open

Tonight
I just want to be left alone
Tonight
I just want to find my way back home
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
And forget that awful day
When I cast the final stone

Paranoia led to anger, anger led to action
Action led to words, and it formed it's own path from there
Burning down all the bridges, that took so long to build
Now I'm wondering if it's too late, or too much wasted time
To even make that effort to show them that I care

I'll worry about this, tommorow

Tonight
I just want to be left alone
Tonight
I just want to find my way back home
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
Tonight
I just want to find some peace

Tonight
I just want to be left alone
Tonight
I just want to find my way back home
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
And forget that awful day
When I cast the final stone

Forget that awful day
When I cast the final stone
