Steel & Stone

is it my imagination

or do you think it's

really getting cold in here

we carry on this conversation

like neither one of us is here

there's an escalating violence

in the silence

of our unspoken words

and it doesn't matter what we say

i promise you there's not a way

it's being heard

you are steel

i am stone

is it any wonder

we feel alone

we're breaking hearts

like we're breaking bone

you are steel

and i am stone

we say the things we do not mean

we mean the things we do not say

and leave no clues

then act like nothing matters

but something in me shatters

when i hurt you

you are steel

i am stone

is it any wonder

we feel alone

we're breaking hearts

like we're breaking bone

words that cut

looks that kill

the battle of the egos

the clash of wills

i've had enough

i've had my fill

i do not really want this

you do not really want this

but we cannot seem to stop it...

i'll bring my stone

you bring your steel

we'll forge an altar

so we can kneel down right here

we'll pray God,

turn to ash our stupid pride

burn the secrets that we hide

torch this fear

this steel and stone

steel and stone
