Stone - Invictus (Lyrics by Jonah Falk)

Chorus
And I see fire fire today
Hope I see brighter brighter days
Do you see life in my stone face
And I see fire from my stone gaze
Behind my stone gates

Verse 1
Faces come and go like phases
No control so we run through mazes
Avoid some places search for replacements
I want a clean slate but I'm
Stuck wondering if I'll make it
I guess I was mistaken
Thought we were something it's taking
Me time to adjust
Crazy
Thought we were cool but lately
It's been no word I'm thinking mainly
We took separate paths
But maybe you're not just my path
I guess I should just let that go
But I hate starting over
Now I'm older life is colder
Why is new such a tall order
Sure I've never been that good with change
Dad would say the same
But I'm getting to that age
Where I better figure out my own way
To rebuild our strengthen my shield
Can't read notes I play by feel
Hit dead ends time to re deal
Or make amends if friends are real
I'm making time in every line
You do your part I'll do mine
It's a two way street not about next time
Either peace of mind or it's peace goodbye

Chorus
And I see fire fire today
Hope I see brighter brighter days
Do you see life in my stone face
And I see fire from my stone gaze
Behind my stone gates​

Verse 2
Stone face going through the world
It's a cold age
Despite climate change
But i fight to stay brave
Stay numb to the pain
But not forget
Where I'm from on the way
How I got here Today
That awkward kid
Who didn't know how to fit in
With his flows spitting
Can't speak so he goes written
Bitten by this cold world
So he throws diction
Hoping to find a way
Out of this fiction
Inner friction split decision
Thoughts so conflicted since morals shifted
Seems we're all living contradictions thoughts twisted
Do my best to keep scripting while these pen points sink in
The sickened keep sinking
Friends and role models fight with addiction
When all they really need
Is somebody to listen
Visualize better times living lives of distinction
I'm moving on with the mission

Chorus
And I see fire fire today
Hope I see brighter brighter days
Do you see life in my stone face
And I see fire from my stone gaze
Behind my stone gates​
