M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

Don'T Cast the Stone

I'm on my first step out of 12
Just barely out of hell 
And I'm still a ways 
From that finish line

So until the day
When I can say I'm sober
I'll keep falling one more time

And I drink about it
I'll drink it over
I got this monkey
On my shoulder

So please don't judge me
Unless you're perfect
Don't cast the stone
Don't cast the stone 

I've seen better men than me
Walk down this same road
And end up at the starting line
Without learning how to go

Was it the fate that they 
Were given for themselves 
Or their lust to kill the pain

When I drink about it
I drink it over
I'll get this monkey 
Off my shoulder

So please don't judge me 
Unless you're perfect 
Don't cast the stone 
Don't cast the stone 

This battle isn't easy 
I've fallen back a couple times
Until I found the reasons
That I had to win the fight

Though I'll carry 
This name with me to my grave
I guess that's how it has to be

When I drank about it
I drank it over
But I got that monkey
Off my shoulder

Please don't judge me 
Cause I'm not perfect
Don't cast the stone 
Don't cast the stone
