Lyrics
Sticks and Stones
Like sticks and stones, your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless
So let me die
Like sticks and stones, your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless
So let me die
I'm tired of being nothing
How much you allow me to succeed
I'm tired of being beaten down
This life has cost me everything
I'm tired of being destroyed
By the people I care for and love
I'm sick of the hatred in me
That runs through my body like blood
I was a child that was used as a weapon
I'm tired of being the demon
The reason that blood doesn't wash off these hands
Like sticks and stones, your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless
So let me die
I'm tired of all the pain you've sown
Where I grew up from the seeds
Will someone turn the light on?
Turn off the darkness that surrounds me
I'm tired
And I'm not afraid of you, I'm so afraid of myself
I'm sick of being locked in a breakdown
Inside of my head, that's my hell
I was a child that was used as a weapon
I'm tired of being the demon
The reason that blood doesn't wash off these hands
Like sticks and stones, your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless
So let me die
Tired of my wrong decisions
Tired of my scars
Tired of my wrong decisions
Tired of my scars
Tired of my wrong decisions
Tired of my scars
Like sticks and stones, your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless
So let me die
Like sticks and stones, your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless
So let me die (tired of my wrong decisions, tired of my scars)
Like sticks and stones, your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless
So let me die
So let me die
