Sticks And Stones Lyrics - Silent Theory

Verse 1 

Sticks and stones make shards of bones 

But words cut through the surface 

That's nothing compared to the acts of despair 

That we see go without purpose 

Cut their limbs they'll crawl with grins 

To find out if it's worth it 

Mother help us please 

Just a gentle breeze 

We really don't deserve it

Verse 2 

Shoulders bearing too much weight 

So knees begin to buckle 

Replace need for fame, so now I'm ashamed 

You're what they'll find among the rubble 

Kings and queens go without thrones 

Hey, are you getting nervous? 

Mother help us please 

Breaking arms and knees 

Just to keep up with the circus 

Just to keep up with the... 

Chorus 

It's getting hard to sleep 

Without that fire burning deep 

Why would you take that away? 

So put us back in our place 

Spit in our face 

It makes the hurt better 

Don't ever take that away

Verse 3 

Isn't it so easy 

Just to see the greed believe me 

It's enough to make you sick 

Well that's a gratifying feeling 

But the ceiling isn't going anywhere 

It's not depleting 

We need meaning so deceiving 

Half the world is what we're needing 

Pleading on our knees for healing 

Breathing out, the skin is peeling 

Breathing hard enough as it is 

Without that toxic gas you're feeding 

And conceding to this need 

That we have taken like a beating 

I'm disgusted with this lack of trust 

And now we're all retreating 

Chorus 

It's getting hard to sleep 

Without that fire burning deep 

Why would you take that away? 

So put us back in our place 

Spit in our face 

It makes the hurt better 

Don't ever take that away 

Chorus 

It's getting hard to sleep 

Without that fire burning deep 

Why would you take that away? 

So put us back in our place 

Spit in our face 

It makes the hurt better 

Don't ever take that away from me
