  • Like sticks and stones, your words hurt me
    You took a piss on my pretty things
    I'm helpless and hopeless, 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 (so let me die)
    You took a piss on my pretty things (so let me die)
    I'm helpless and hopeless, so let me die
    So let me die Writer/s: Chad Gray, Greg Tribbett, Matt McDonough, Ryan Martinie
