I am not strong But no one must know Weakness I must never show I must be rock I must be stone Any time I'm not alone Is that emotion? Did you just feel? Cover up Conceal Conceal Leave no signs Leave no trace Stony, vacant, deadpan face Don't bring a jacket You feel no cold You feel nothing You are stone You're not afraid or insecure Save that for when you're alone Until you shut your bedroom door You are stone, you are stone Skin will tear And hearts will break And even human bone I'm not allowed to be that weak So I must become stone Strike me Kick me Denigrate me This much I will condone Despite all your best efforts You cannot injure stone Strong I'm not But I won't tell I'll never let it show Someone might misunderstand And think I'm flesh and bone They may think I'm a person But I'm not I'm only stone

You Are Stone (Pt. 1)
I am not strong But no one must know Weakness I must never show I must be rock I must be stone Any time I'm not alone Is that emotion? Did you just feel? Cover up Conceal Conceal Leave no signs Leave no trace Stony, vacant, deadpan face Don't bring a jacket You feel no cold You feel nothing You are stone You're not afraid or insecure Save that for when you're alone Until you shut your bedroom door You are stone, you are stone Skin will tear And hearts will break And even human bone I'm not allowed to be that weak So I must become stone Strike me Kick me Denigrate me This much I will condone Despite all your best efforts You cannot injure stone Strong I'm not But I won't tell I'll never let it show Someone might misunderstand And think I'm flesh and bone They may think I'm a person But I'm not I'm only stone
