Every word you said runs around inside my head again
Every conversation with myself my God a therapist
No you can't resist you're the name of my apocalypse
Thank the Lord I didn't fall for it
But something inside of me wants to change the earth
Build my kingdom watch it burn
Chase the feeling lift the curse
Teachers told me I'd never learn
I won't be the last but you won't be the first
Hit when I'm kneeling do your worst
'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones
Turn them into miracles
Let me let you know oh-ooh oh-ooh oh
I'm never gonna want your pity
Oh no no look at you so cynical
But if I let it go oh-ooh oh-ooh oh
Who else is gonna build this city
'Cause we are who they say we are
And that's just fine
'Cause I was never gonna take them with me
Sticks and stones
Turn them into miracles
Let me let you know oh-ooh oh-ooh oh
Nobody else is gonna build my city
Drag me through the dark be the villain in my narrative
Dance upon my scars how I truly love your arrogance
Future felt far 'til you opened up the door for it
Oh when you opened up the door for it
But something inside of me wants to change the earth
Build my kingdom watch it burn
Chase the feeling lift the curse
Teachers told me I'd never learn
I won't be the last but you won't be the first
Hit when I'm kneeling do your worst
'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones
Turn them into miracles
Let me let you know oh-ooh oh-ooh oh
I'm never gonna want your pity
Oh no no look at you so cynical
But if I let it go oh-ooh oh-ooh oh
Who else is gonna build this city
Nothing is left I'm letting you in
Take what you want take my life my sin
Knew you were staying so I built a city
Where all my shadows and demons can live
Nothing is left I'm letting you in
Take what you want take my life my sin
Knew you were staying so I built a city
Where all my shadows and demons can live
Sticks and stones
Turn them into miracles
Let me let you know oh-ooh oh-ooh oh
Nobody else is gonna build my city
Sticks and stones
Turn them into miracles
Let me let you know oh-ooh oh-ooh oh
