Sticks & Stones

Did I pledge my allegiance
 For the purpose of progress
 ♪
 To a priest or a prophet
 ♪
 Playing god in the process?
 ♪
 Was I chasing convenience
 ♪
 In a wave of disaster
 ♪
 Where the captain's a captor
 ♪
 And I'm a puppet to pastor?
 ♪
 A worthless war
 A curtain torn
 To take control of this ship
 A nail of shame
 A broken vein
 To write redemption a script
 A truth-less gun
 A dying Son
 To turn the tables we flipped
 Turn the tables we flipped
 Paint the beauty we split

 Paint the beauty we split
 Nah nah nah, nah
 They don't get it, I don't get it
 We're committed to sticks and stones
 What's a vision if it's driven to imprison?
 I don't know

 They don't get it, I don't get it
 We're committed to sticks and stones
 Undecided, but I'm trying still divided
 So it goes

 Nah nah nah, nah
 Show me a man, an honest mission
 I'm willing to hope beyond suspicion
 Show me the race, I'll run the distance
 Longing to give and taste forgiveness
 Dying to live a pure religion
 Settle the rush to chase submission
 Open my eyes and soul to listen
