Lyrics: Stone Is Not Stone

There was a time when stone was stone
And a face on the street was a finished face
Between the Thing, myself and God alone
There was an instant symmetry
Since you have altered all my world
this trinity is twisted

Stone is not stone
And faces like the fractioned characters
in dreams are incomplete
Until the child’s inchoate face
I recognize your exiled eyes
The soldier climbs the glaring stair
leaving your shadow
Tonight, this torn room sleeps
Beneath the starlight bent by you
