POLISHED STONE (2016)
Closing up the wounds
Cutting to the bone
I will kill two birds
With a polished stone
I will sign my name
With my shaking hand
With the quiet sigh
Of the newly damned
And all our reckonings come down to this...
I will kill two birds
With a polished stone
Youll be free at last
Ill be on my own
Will you feel regret?
Do I really care?
Will the truth come out
When were unaware
And all our reckonings come down to this...
Slander my name in every bar
Love will not linger where you are
Its a crying shame
Its a case of libel
Love comes back, dead on arrival
Its a check thats cashed
For a modest fee
Its a glance we exchanged
Accidentally
A treaty signed
In a combat zone
I will kill two birds
With a polished stone
Slander my name in every bar
Love will not linger where you are
Its a crying shame
Its a case of libel
Love comes back, dead on arrival
I will kill two birds
With a polished stone

Still fiddling with this one. Mostly I wanted to have the title appear in a different part of each verse.
