Sticks and Stones (Acoustic)

Fuck your fantasy
I'm living just to fall asleep
And I pray that all my souls are free
When my heart doesn't belong on my sleeve

And I pick up what's in front of me
A pair of shoes that I gotta be
Filling up to capacity
Otherwise I'm nothing but a wanna be

You could be the next big thing
Isn't that what you wanted?

Living in a dream's got me
Feeling like I oughta be worried 'bout
What all the lonely people say
And what they think about me now
And when you think it's over
You'll find it's only just begun

There's a monster in my bedroom
And he haunts me when I close my eyes
And when I open them he puts on a disguise
And he hides in the mirror on the wall

Won't you tell me if at all
There's a time in my future where I'm gonna hit a wall
I'm moving so fast, it's scaring me to death
And I want it all to slow down just so I can take a breath and he said

You could be the next big thing
Isn't that what you wanted?

Living in a dream's got me
Feeling like I oughta be worried 'bout
What all the lonely people say
And what they think about me now

Living on a screen's stopped me
Feeling like I'm in control and
I got a hold on everything
'Cause everything is wrapped around me now

You could be the next big thing
Puppet master holding strings
People always listening
Isn't that what you wanted?

Living in a dream's got me
Feeling like I oughta be worried 'bout
What all the lonely people say
And what they think about me now

Living on a screen's stopped me
Feeling like I'm in control
And I got a hold on everything
'Cause everything is wrapped around me now

Living in a dream, taking over me
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
I've been living in a dream, it's been taking over me
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And when you think it's over
You'll find it's only just begun
