ElysianSoul
Sticks and Stones and Bones
[Verse 1]
She attacks me from within
And burns beneath my skin
Through bloodied thick and thin
She knows I won't give in
Our worlds, they collide
My power is my pride
Are you angry that I lied?
Are you satisfied I tried?
[Chorus]
The beauty that I see
In sticks and stones and bones
My supernatural fortitude
Resonating when I'm alone
Avert your eyes from me
A ghostly memory
The lights are on but no-one's home
My sticks and stones and bones
[Verse 2]
Ignite a flame so pure
True perfection is the cure
From my temples to my jaw
My scars, they hide no more
Oh, sculptor with no name
Please decorate my frame
My jagged spinal chain
My artist of disdain
[Chorus]
The beauty that I see
In sticks and stones and bones
My supernatural fortitude
Resonating when I'm alone
Avert your eyes from me
A ghostly memory
The lights are on but no-one's home
My sticks and stones and bones
[Bridge]
Brittle, bittersweet
My mouth, it does not eat
My exoskeleton
My darkening undone
Silky silhouette
My kilojoules of debt
With Ana's gentle sigh
I consent myself to die
[Outro]
The beauty that I see
In sticks and stones and bones
My supernatural fortitude
Resonating when I'm alone
All that's become of me
Is a gaunt and ghostly memory
A shadow of a life unknown
Inside my sticks and stones
My sticks and stones and my bones
Inside my sticks and stones and bones
