| It’s the heaviest stone to throw |
| Being told that it’s nearly time to go |
| When you know that just beyond the shroud |
| There’s a gala going on but you’re not allowed |
| For the first time in your life |
| It’s the last time in your life |
| It’s the heaviest stone to throw |
| How many ways can the world say no? |
| When all your tickets got punched long ago |
| There’s little left but your ego |
| All the women do the government |
| While the men disappear in the fundament |
| The bold and courageous thoughts of youth |
| Seem silly and ridiculous beside the truth |
| But when you gather up to do the sum |
| They’re better than nothing now you’re having none |
| Rash and reckless boy |
| Temerarious young man Everybody gets a sunset |
| Everybody gets ruined |
| Everybody gets to fall apart upon the stage |
| But you rarely if ever get to choose |
| when… It’s the heaviest stone to throw |
| When you can’t even laugh on the gallows When |
| none of it was worth it and they really let you know |
| You barely even cast a shadow |
| You never really cast a shadow |
