Throwing Stones Lyrics

When I was about nineteen or twenty
I think the greatest mistake I made
Was overestimating the power of the chemical itself
This is a song about addiction
A gradual process and a constant change
This is a song is about addiction
A loss of strength and a growing pain
It's nice to simplify
To excuse ourselves
Pointed fingers are children's lies
To empower themselves
This is a song about addiction
A heritage and a seed that's grown
This is a song about addiction
A pilgrimage down a dead end road
We can't philosophize
We cannot know
Until we've seen through the addict's eyes we can't throw stones
Out of control, I've seen horizons roll
While I was on my back
I guess it's time the f****** story was told
So I can fight my way back
Drink it down
By the time I was twenty five, maybe twenty six
I think the greatest mistake I made
Was underestimating the power of the addiction itself
This is a song about addiction
A gradual process and a constant change
This is a song about addiction
A loss of strength and a growing change
