These sticks and stones are made of bones for I am of the earth And everything I ever throw was welcomed at my birth I will not speak with tired tongue, these matters will not sleep But be there some hypocrisy, my words will swallow me And if they do I'll make them choke until I'm fully gone The louder parts I'll lodge inside, they'll hurt to drag along Consider it necessity, a claim I chose to make I'll justify with every breath, I'll bend until I break My memory will suffocate as both my lungs collapse From bone to ash to earth again, I'll live again perhaps
