Sticks and Stones

(You could be the next big thing) (You could be the next bi-) Living in a dream's got me Thinking that I oughta be worried 'bout What all the lonely people say And what they think about me now Fuck your fantasy I'm living just to fall asleep And I pray that all my souls are free When my heart doesn't belong on my sleeve And I pick up what's in front of me A pair of shoes that I gotta be Filling up to capacity Otherwise I'm nothing but a wanna be You could be the next big thing Isn't that what you wanted? Living in a dream's got me Thinking that I oughta be worried 'bout What all the lonely people say And what they think about me now And when you think it's over You'll find it's only just begun There's a monster in my bedroom And he haunts me when I close my eyes And when I open them he puts on a disguise And he hides in the mirror on the wall Won't you tell me if at all There's a time in my future where I'm gonna hit a wall 'Cause I'm moving so fast And it's scaring me to death And I want it all to slow down just so I can take a breath and he said You could be the next big thing Isn't that what you wanted? Living in a dream's got me Thinking that I oughta be worried about What all the lonely people say And what they think about me now Living on a screen's stopped me Feeling like I'm in control and I got a hold on everything 'cause everything is wrapped around me now You could be the next big thing Puppet master holding strings People always listening Isn't that what you wanted? Living in a dream's got me Thinking that I oughta be worried 'bout What all the lonely people say And what they think about me now Living on a screen's stopped me Feeling like I'm in control And I got a hold on everything 'Cause everything is wrapped around me now And when you think it's over, you'll find it's only just begun
