Turning Into Stone

TURNING INTO STONE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON 

2017

SEE THIS GOING NOWHERE

NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND

LIFE SHOULD NEVER BE THIS UNKIND 

INTEREST DISSOLVES LIKE SMOKE IN THE WIND

DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT HERE AGAIN

THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOING BY

LEAVING ME BEHIND

IN THE EARLY MORNINGS DAWN

IT'S THERE THAT YOU'LL FIND ME

REACHING OUT TO SOMETHING FAMILIAR

THAT'S JUST NOT THERE

JUST THE BITTER TASTE OF DESPAIR

I DON'T BELONG HERE, I TRIED TO SAY

BUT NO ONE HEARD ME ANYWAY

EVERYTHING IS TURNING INTO STONE

REVERED SILENCE ALL ALONE

YOU LOOK ALL AROUND YOU

AND YOU WONDER WHAT ALL THIS IS

IT'S BEEN SO LONG

SINCE I FELT LIKE I BELONGED

NEARLY EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING

IS ALREADY GONE

A RACE TO SUCCESS OR FAILURE

ONE I HAVE TO WIN

BITE THE BULLET, SCALE THE WALLS

STORM THE FUTURE 

WEIGH IN AGAINST THE FOE

IF ONLY IT WAS THAT EASY

IF I COULD ONLY FIND A KEY

TO UNLOCK THE MYSTERY

A NEW WORLD OPENS UP TO ME

MAYBE SOMEHOW I DIDN'T SEE

I DON'T BELONG HERE

I TRIED TO SAY

BUT NO ONE HEARD, ANSWERED MY PRAYER

I TURNED AROUND AND NO ONE WAS THERE

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN

FROZEN IN TIME

EVERYTHING'S TURNING INTO STONE

DUST BLOWING ACROSS THE EMPTY PLAIN

NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME

WILL I TURN TO STONE AS WELL

IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL

BUT I CAN HARDLY MOVE

I CAN HARDLY BREATHE
