Sticks & Stones (Chrome Tapes Extended Remix)

Shot down by your bullets

 They shatter my faith and my bones

 If you listen, the words, they hurt

 They creep right under my skin, they cut so deep

 Can't you understand

 I don't want battles, battles, battles?

 And if you lay them in my hand

 I won't fight battles, battles, battles

 Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones

 Can we try to lay down

 These sticks and stones?

 Sticks and stones

 We crash and fall together, so sad

 We don't remember why we are tearing us apart

 But I can feel the cracks, the cracks in my heart, whoa

 Can't you understand

 I don't want battles, battles, battles?

 And if you lay them in my hand

 I won't fight battles, battles, battles

 Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones

 Can we try to lay down

 These sticks and stones?

 Sticks and stones

 Sticks and stones

 Sticks and stones

 Why does it have to be so hard to surrender?

 When we got nothing left, nothing left to lose, lose

 Can't you understand

 I don't want battles, battles, battles?

 And if you lay them in my hand

 I won't fight battles, battles, battles

 Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones

 Can we try to lay down

 These sticks and stones?

 Sticks and stones

 Sticks and stones

 Sticks and stones
