Sticks & Bricks

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

[Verse 1]
Oh, I bet ya 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Goddamn! So here I stand
The only son of a working-class man
I won't be held back
I can't be held down

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 my inspirational quotes on why I never gave up, what?

[Chorus]
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 goes back around
The reasons why you passed me by
Will always hold you down
Say something

[Bridge]
If you can't stand the pressure
Stay the fuck out of my way, I know my place
This one goes out to everyone who's lied to my face
My heart is filled with hate

[Breakdown]
I'm making a difference
I'm taking a chance (a chance)
You can say what you want about me
But no one can tell me I can't

[Chorus]
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 goes back around
The reasons why you passed me by
Will always hold you down
Say something
