Sticks & Bricks

I am fueled by all forms of failure

I paid the price, so I'll take what's mine

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 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?

You tried to hide, you stood close by

And didn't make a sound, say something!

Find you some paper, and I'll 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

Where were you when my walls 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?

The reasons why you passed me by, will always hold you down

Say something!

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

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?

You tried to hide, you stood close by

And didn't make a sound

Where were you when it all came back around?

The reasons why you passed me by, will always hold you down

Say something!
