Sticks & Stones

Did I pledge my allegiance

For the purpose of progress

To a priest or a prophet

Playin' God in the process?

Was I chasing convenience

In a wave of disaster

Where the captain's a captor

And I'm a puppet to pastor?

A worthless war, a curtain torn, to take control of this ship

A nail of shame, a broken vein, to write redemption a script

A truth is gone, a dyin' son, to turn the tables we flipped

Turn the tables we flipped

Paint the beauty we split

Paint the beauty we split

Paint the beauty we split

Paint the beauty we split

Nah, nah, nah, nah

They don't get it, I don't get it, we're committed to sticks & stones

What's a vision if it's driven to imprison? I don't know

They don't get it, I don't get it, we're committed to sticks & stones

Undecided, but I'm trying, still divided, so it goes

A worthless war, a curtain torn, to take control of this ship

A nail of shame, a broken vein, to write redemption a script

A truth is gone, a dyin' son, to turn the tables we flipped

Turn the tables we flipped

Paint the beauty we split

Paint the beauty we split

Paint the beauty we split

Paint the beauty we split

Turn the tables we flipped

(Nah, nah, nah, nah)

Paint the beauty we split

To take control of this ship

Paint the beauty we split

Write redemption a script

Paint the beauty we split

Turn the tables we flipped

Paint the beauty we split

(Nah, nah, nah, nah)

Show me a man, an honest mission

I'm willin' to hope beyond suspicion

(Paint the beauty we split)

Show me the race, I'll run the distance

Longin' to give and taste forgiveness

(Paint the beauty we split)

Dyin' to live a pure religion

Settle the rush to chase submission

(Paint the beauty we split)

Open my eyes and soul to listen, listen

(Nah, nah, nah, nah)
