Sticks and Stones Lyrics by Jim Alxndr

2023

[Intro]
You could be the next big thing
You could be the next big—
[Chorus]
Living in a dream's got me
Thinking that I oughta be worried 'bout
What all the lonely people say
And what they think about me now
[Verse 1]
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 l've gotta be
Filling up to capacity
Otherwise, l'm nothing but a wannabe
[Pre-Chorus]
You could be the next big thing
Isn't that what you wanted?
[Chorus]
Living in a dream's got me
Thinking that I oughta be worried 'bout
What all the lonely people say
And what they think about mе now
[Post-Chorus]
And when you think it's over
You'll find it's only just begun
[Verse 2]
Thеre's a monster in my bedroom
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
'Cause l'm moving so fast
And it's scaring me to death
And I want it all to slow down
Just so I can take a breath and he said
[Pre-Chorus]
You could be the next big thing
Isn't that what you wanted?
[Chorus]
Living in a dream's got me
Thinking that 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
[Bridge]
You could be the next big thing (Oh-oh)
Puppet master holding strings
(You could be the next big thing)
People always listening (Oh-oh)
Isn't that what you wanted?
[Chorus]
Living in a dream's got me
Thinking that 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
[Post-Chorus]
And when you think it's over
You'll find it's only just begun
