From Instagram:
“Sticks and Stones” was written with two native Ithacans— Rowan Drake and SAINT KID (aka Kii Kinsella); the next generation of songwriters from our hometown. This song feels like stumbling upon some sort of dark, wild ritual in the forests of upstate New York— shadows from a bonfir...
[Chorus]
Oh, these sticks and stones
They take me home, they won't control me
'Cause I was born in Hickory
It's in my bones, it takes me home
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Hold me in the creek
With your bare hands to keep me under
I was born in undertow
It takes me home, it takes me home
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Headlights on the road
They set me free, they baptize me
In your eyes, I see myself
I see a child, I see a ghost
[Bridge]
You could bury me
An unmarked grave in the earth
But I am the stone
I am the dirt
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Oh, these sticks and stones
They take me home, it takes me home
