lyrics

Calm down now, crazy moon.
The sun is rising soon
And I'll waste another day on you.
I tried my best to sleep
But my imagination speeds.
And your words terrorize my dreams.

I don't want to fix this, I can't conjure magic spells
My stomach is twisting, and turning through roads in hell.

Sticks and stones can break a bone
But your words cut straight through my soul
It's time to let this go.

This verbal workout wears me down
Breathe in your detrimental cloud,
and sweat it out until I drown.

We can't ever fix this, our love's turned so sour with hate
When those two start dancing, they'll spin into fiery rage.

Sticks and stones can break a bone
But your words cut straight through my soul
It's time to let this go.

Remembering the good times won't fix this, or bring them back.
When mirrors have shattered, we can't bind those shards of glass.
We'd just find a new one, so shiny, with brand new parts
And now that's what we need, to fix this with fresh new starts.

Sticks and stones can break a bone,
But your words cut straight through my soul
Sticks and stones can break a bone
But your words cut straight through my soul
It's time to let this go.
