(Verse 1)
Another Friday night, the same old routine
Walls closing in, a silent scream
They see the grin, the steady hand
But inside, I'm just sinking sand
Every day a battle, every night a fight
Just trying to make it through the fading light
They say, "Be strong, don't show the pain"
But this dam's about to burst in the pouring rain.
(Chorus)
'Cause a man ain't made of stone, no matter what they say
My heart's a fragile thing that's breaking every day
Behind this tough facade, a war is raging on
And I'm just trying to hold on before it's all gone
Yeah, a man ain't made of stone, I'm cracking at the seams
Living out these hollow, shattered dreams.
(Verse 2)
Remember whispered words, the weight of every lie
Felt like a hammer hitting, right between the eyes
Punched out the window, left the glass behind
A little piece of sanity I just couldn't find
They think I'm bulletproof, a fortress made of steel
But every single blow, believe me, I can feel
The pressure building up, a ticking time bomb's dread
Just a hollow echo ringing in my head.
(Chorus)
'Cause a man ain't made of stone, no matter what they say
My heart's a fragile thing that's breaking every day
Behind this tough facade, a war is raging on
And I'm just trying to hold on before it's all gone
Yeah, a man ain't made of stone, I'm cracking at the seams
Living out these hollow, shattered dreams.
(Bridge)
I built these walls so high, to keep the hurt locked in
But solitude's a prison, where do I begin?
To tear it down, brick by painful brick
Before this crushing weight makes my spirit sick
I'm screaming out, can anyone hear?
Through all this noise, this suffocating fear.
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
'Cause a man ain't made of stone, no matter what they say
My heart's a fragile thing that's breaking every day
Behind this tough facade, a war is raging on
And I'm just trying to hold on before it's all gone
Yeah, a man ain't made of stone, I'm cracking at the seams
Living out these hollow, shattered dreams.
(Outro)
No, I ain't made of stone, I'm falling apart
Just a broken soul with a bleeding heart
Can't take it anymore, the weight is too much to bear
This man ain't made of stone, it just ain't fair.
No, it just ain't fair.
