Sticks + Stones. Testo

I threw sticks and stones
Twisted up my bones
But I won't miss the forest for the trees
I threw sticks and stones
Now I'm on my own
The chemicals will keep me company
Keep me company

Bound, I've been in chains long as I can remember
A foot in my mouth, and a foot in the grave Since the heat of November
Counting my days
Hope my last legs don't leave me breathless
Shudder at the thought of quitting now
Every time I try to rebound, I hurt myself again

Throwing sticks and stones
Twisting up my bones
But I won't miss the forest for the trees
Yeah, I threw sticks and stones
Now I'm on my own, baby
The chemicals will keep me company
Keep me company

Can't help but throw all these sticks and stones
This time shall pass and shatter all its stones
Can't help but throw all these sticks and stones
I hurt myself again
