I cast no stones upon the water
No ripples will I make
For if I were to do so
I would disrupt the lake

My reflection convoluted
Would not resemble me
And all that looked upon it
A monster, they would see

But I am not a monster
I am a quiet man
Whose dreams have gone awry
In this unforgiving land

When life no longer holds
Any happiness for me
I come to visit by the lake
And find serenity

So if you see me sitting
With my thoughts and all alone
I beg you, please be quiet
And do not cast a stone.
