Sticks and stones may break my bones
But they'll break yours just as easy (easy)
You're not the first, so do your worst
But don't expect it to phase me (phase me)

You took advantage what we took for granted
Your promise of a friend who won't abandon
Before this, I have always given second chances
Strike that fucking chord, now this is war
Against a world I had so much faith in
So now the only thing I can believe in
Is the music doesn't stop, until I stop breathing

So when they poke around
Through all your insides
Will they find a spine?
This beating heart of mine
Pumps to a one track mind
If you won't make the sacrifice
Then don't promise ride or die

These words of spite I keep repeating
May drill a hole into my brain
But I'd rather die than prove you right
Even if it drives me insane

So you can run but you'll never escape from
The truth inside the lie of the man you've become
Keep speaking through your teeth, keep sticking to your guns
Convince everyone that what you say is true
But I can see that it's driving you crazy
Constantly searching for credibility
No matter what you are, I know you can hear me
Did I fucking stutter?

So when they poke around
Through all your insides
Will they find a spine?
This beating heart of mine
Pumps to a one track mind
If you won't make the sacrifice
Then don't promise ride or die

I heard that you told everybody you created me
Taking credit for my accomplishments,
And talking shit upon my name
My sympathies have once again matured to hate
You got a lot to say about the
Fucker who gave you your identity

Your identity has no integrity or loyalty
You'll say the words they wanna hear
But you're not fooling anybody

Cause the hardest part of letting go
Is thinking what if or maybe so
You know, your memory's defective, inaccurate
The past is a trap, don't dare look back to it

You took the love that I gave you
And spat it back in my face,
You forget what I won't forgive
Your promise stays in present tense
Cause this is ride or die

And I'll hold you to your empty words tonight
