One foot in the ground
One foot in the grave
Don't you dare make a sound, shh
Hear you from a mile away
Run from the town
All you need is your name
And the sweat on your brow
And the blood running through your veins
Don't think twice
You'll be dead in a second
Turn your eyes
From your hands to the heavens
Kill your pride
Turn your fear to a weapon
And don't you forget it
Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control
And don't you let 'em break your soul
It's not the devil at your door
It's just your shadow on your floor
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh
One eye on the clock
One eye on the mirror
Take a step through your thoughts
Is it getting clearer?
If they follow you whenever night falls
Will you still listen to my call
Who do you trust to knowing it all?
Or knowing it all?
Don't think twice
You'll be dead in a second
Turn your eyes
From your hands to the heavens
Kill your pride
Turn your fear to a weapon
And don't you forget it
Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control
And don't you let 'em break your soul
It's not the devil at your door
It's just your shadow on your floor
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh
Tell me that you hate me
Yeah, I heard it all before
There is a life here for the taking
Is it mine or is it yours?
All I am is what you make me
You're on both sides of the war
It's not the devil that you're facing
It's just your shadow on the floor
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh
It's just your shadow on the floor

Every word you said runs around inside my head again
Every conversation with myself, my God, a therapist
No, you can't resist, you're the name of my apocalypse
Thank the Lord, I didn't fall for it
But something inside of me wants to change the earth
Build my kingdom, watch it burn
Chase a feeling, lift the curse
Teachers told me I'd never learn
I won't be the last, but you won't be the first
Hit when I'm kneeling, do your worst
'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones
Turn 'em into miracles
Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
I'm never gonna want your pity
Oh, no, no, look at you so cynical
But if I let it go, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
Who else is gonna build this city?
'Cause we are who we say we are
And that's just fine
'Cause I was never gonna take them with me
Sticks and stones
Turn 'em into miracles
Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
Nobody else is gonna build my city
Drag me through the dark, be the villain in my narrative
Dance upon my scars, how I truly love your arrogance
Future felt far 'til you opened up the door for it
Oh, you opened up the door for it
But something inside of me wants to change the earth
Build my kingdom, watch it burn
Chase a feeling, lift the curse
Teachers told me I'd never learn
I won't be the last, but you won't be the first
Hit when I'm kneeling, do your worst
'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones
Turn 'em into miracles
Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
I'm never gonna want your pity
Oh, no, no, look at you so cynical
But if I let it go, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
Who else is gonna build this city?
Nothing is left, I'm letting you in
Take what you want, take my lies, and my sin
Knew you were staying, so I built a city
Where all my shadows and demons can live
Nothing is left, I'm letting you in
Take what you want, take my lies, and my sin
Knew you were staying, so I built a city
Where all my shadows and demons can live
Sticks and stones
Turn 'em into miracles
Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
Nobody else is gonna build my city
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Sticks and stones
Turn 'em into miracles
Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
