I took the song to mean as life goes on we loose the innocence we once had as children.
And to the part where the mother wonders if its the end of her precious time. It's not only about our own innocence but those around us. The kid went insane and killed someone and is therefor without innocence anymore.
And the chorus says it right there. As we speak in relation to time. (the saying I'm sure you've heard) And without innocence we have a "stone" heart.
