Styx and Stones

narrative on life

 

Styx and Stones

Styx and Stones, can break your bones,

they can leave you with cuts and bruises

a broken heart, can go on and on

it's sad, when somebody loses

the things that they love,

the things that define them,

the things so dear to their heart

they fill you with lies,

right in front of your eyes,

they think they're so damn smart

porcupine quills, over-due bills,

are more things that can give you pain

but a stab in the back, or hung on the rack,

will leave more than a mark or a stain

smiles from heaven above,

smiles from the one you love,

smiles from a complete stranger

kisses in a dish,

kisses when you wish,

look for warnings of danger

Styx and Stones, mortgages and loans,

the fat cats are still getting fatter

they scoff and pretend, they've been honest to the end,

while sneaking a bun off your platter
