Sticks & Bricks Lyrics

I am fueled by all forms of failure.
I paid the price, so I'll take what's mine.

I bet you didn't see that one coming,
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?
(They 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 inspirational quotes on why I never gave up.
Where were you when my walls came falling down?
(They came 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 comes 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 f*** out of my way!
Or you will pay!
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?
(They came 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 comes back around.)
The reasons why you passed me by
Will always hold you down.
(Say something!)
