Sticks and Stones Lyrics

Sticks and stones
Look in my eyes, what can you see?
Burning ambition trying to break free
Your tongue’s like a knife stuck in my back
Well, I paint in colours but you still see black
But it’s the price I pay
It’s the price I pay
Every day
Sticks and stones can break you bones
But names will never hurt you
They told me sticks and stones can break your bones
But it never seems to ease the pain
But when you sleep, how do you dream?
Does the rhythm haunt you the way it haunts me?

My time is short, my need is great
My passion’s high, you’re in my space
I’m in the shadows, I’m living in your shadow
But it’s the price I pay
It’s the price I pay
Every day
Sticks and stones can break you bones
But names will never hurt you
They told me sticks and stones can break your bones
But it never seems to ease the pain
Well, it’s so hard to swallow
When your pride sticks in your throat
It leaves a taste so hollow
Like the words that you wrote
I have to choke
Music’s the gift I try to unwrap
My secret lover, my fatal trap
Cause no one is right, no one is wrong
It’s just the same old hat wearing a brand new song
But it’s the price I pay
It’s the price I pay
Every day
Sticks and stones can break you bones
But names will never hurt you
They told me sticks and stones can break your bones
But it never seems to, never seems to
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
Oh well, it never seems to ease the pain
Oh well, it takes its toll
This kick inside
So, if I lose control, hey, don’t ya look surprised
Don’t look surprised, surprised
