Sticks And Stones

(album: Rise As Equals - 2020)

Sticks and stones won't break our bones

Close knit failing scene
Watch me live your broken dreams
I said I'd never get low, I'd never get petty
You've broken the dam and opened the levee
Sticks and stones won't break our bones
Crooked smiles I'm not your martyr
Want to be me, you better try harder

Take all the rage
Take all the hate
Take all the pain, you can give it to me
Take all the rage
Take all the hate
Take all the pain, you can give it to me

Two-faced
Always doubted me
They stand in disbelief
I knew I'd be the king at the top of the pile
When you see me I'll be nothing but smiles
Sticks and stones won't break our bones
Can't take what you never earned
Can't fake what you never learned

Take all the rage
Take all the hate
Take all the pain, you can give it to me
Take all the rage
Take all the hate
Take all the pain, you can give it to me

Two-faced
Two-faced
Two-faced

You're making me nervous
Barely scratching the surface
Know it's hard for you to see
That the best part of you was me

Sticks and stones won't break our bones (Break our bones)
Sticks and stones won't break our bones (Break our bones)
Two-faced
