Turn To Stone.



Turn To Stone.


You Know that it's you when you pick up the phone,
You listen to the dialling tone,
You know that it's you when you listen to music and you're all alone,
You talk to the wall and you have a moan,
You know that it's you when you have a shower and you stare at your flesh and bone,
Is it your mind you own till you turn to stone,
You know that it's you when the World is not your home,
The people around you think that your mind has blown and you look into there eyes and think that everyone is a CONTRADICTION.
