Rock Bottom Rhapsody

(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.
