Sticks & Bricks

I am fueled by all forms of failure

I paid the price

So, I'll take what's mine!

Bet ya didn't see that one comin'

Cause I do as I please

And apologize for nothing.

My time is flying

But I'm still second to none.

Always shining the brightest

When I'm placed under the gun.

So here I stand,

The only son of a working class man

I won't be held back

I can't be held down

Where were you

When my walls came falling down?

You tried to hide

You stood close by

And didn't make a sound!

(Say something!)

Find you some paper

And I'll go grab you a pen

You can start taking notes

On how this all started again.

Been dead last but found my way to the front

With my inspirational quotes on why

I never gave up!

Where were you

When my walls came falling down?

(When you falling down)

You tried to hide

You stood close by

And didn't make a sound!

Where were you

When it all came back around?

(Goes back around)

The reasons why you passed me by

Will always hold you down.

(Say something!)

If you can't stand the pressure

Stay the fuck out of my way!

I know my place!

This one goes out to everyone

Who's lied to my face!

My heart is filled with hate!

I'm making a difference,

I'm taking a chance.

You can say what you want about me

But no one can tell me I can't!

Where were you

When my walls came falling down?

(When you falling down)

You tried to hide

You stood close by

And didn't make a sound

Where were you

When it all came back around?

(It goes back around)

The reasons why you passed me by

Will always hold you down.
