Sticks and stones may break my bones, but you'll never see me quiver, when I wither. Into the forest, Red Ridinghood sing your chorus, the "Bad Wolf", allured, becomes your victim secured. Goosey, goosey, gander, tied me to an anchor, thrown down your stairs, someone hear my prayers, to survive the refiner's fire. Old Mother Hubbard throw me your bone, no more of the unknown, look at what we have sown, dark and deary tones. At the Mulberry bush we'll go round and round, hand in hand we're bound, inflicting unsealing wounds, we never belonged together.

Dead to Nursery Rhymes
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but you'll never see me quiver, when I wither. Into the forest, Red Ridinghood sing your chorus, the "Bad Wolf", allured, becomes your victim secured. Goosey, goosey, gander, tied me to an anchor, thrown down your stairs, someone hear my prayers, to survive the refiner's fire. Old Mother Hubbard throw me your bone, no more of the unknown, look at what we have sown, dark and deary tones. At the Mulberry bush we'll go round and round, hand in hand we're bound, inflicting unsealing wounds, we never belonged together.
Something that popped into my head and I went with while listening to the song "The Humble River".
