lyrics

Break my bones,
Abandon me, confined to my own home
Every night of the week, the same four walls on my own.

Thorn (a thorn in my side, thorn in my side)
Pull (pull out the barb, even if it stings)
Strong (strong I’ll remain, strength I’ll retain)
Take (got to take my life, take my life back)

You can’t expect me to stay, a piece of clay in your hand
I need to take back control, need to be my own man
You cannot subjugate, to every whim, every will
Instead of just suffocate, I need to breathe the free air

Sticks and stones,
You throw your blows, take your aim,
But you can’t make me bow, never make me your pawn.

Thorn (a thorn in my side, thorn in my side)
Pull (pull out the barb, even if it stings)
Strong (strong I’ll remain, strength I’ll retain)
Take (got to take my life, take my life back)

You can’t expect me to stay, a piece of clay in your hand
I need to take back control, need to be my own man
You cannot subjugate, to every whim, every will
Instead of just suffocate, I need to breathe the free air

Thorn stuck in my side,
Need to suffer the sting
I’ve got to be strong
Reclaim everything

Defiant,
I’ll break the binds, shake off the ties,
I’ll expose your promises as lies.
