about

Ran into a man that always seem to assume the worst in people rather than the best. It made it very difficult to communicate with him because each time you first had to re-establish that you weren't trying to trick him or mean him harm... exhausting really.

lyrics

Stone
Walked in the front door and I
Took a look at your note
One thing is perfectly clear now
The man is a stone, yeah
Though the words were written clearly they
show your failure to see
You think I’m being dishonest and
Don’t believe me, well

What have you got to show for,
You jumping to conclusions
Tell me why you’ve avoided the truth,
you avoided the truth well
All this angry and confusion
Caused by adversity
Tell me what did you think you were going to lose

Couldn’t see my point of view and I
Could tell he was all along because
When it comes to communication well
The man is a stone, yeah
And it was partly my fault, you see
I put him to the test, I said
“Take a good look at yourself now,
forget all the rest”, because

What have you got to show for,
You jumping to conclusions
Tell me why you’ve avoided the truth,
you avoided the truth well
All this angry and confusion
Caused by adversity
Tell me what did you think you were going to lose
