Stones
Xov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skin grown thicker than steel.
Ready to fight, play for a life?
Baby I live for the thrill.
Oh my my, I'm burning, I'm still running, but it feels so right.
I can touch the hate, I almost love it. Feed my appetite.
Throw them higher.
You wanna break my bones and it feels so good, feels so good, feels so good.
Silence of peace, what does it mean?
My heart don't beat for truce.
Aim and shoot homie, what you really want from me?
Aint got nothing better to do?
Oh my my, I'm burning, I'm still running, but it feels so right.
I can touch the hate, I almost love it.
Feed my appetite.
Into the fire, catching stones.
Throw them higher.
You wanna break my bones and it feels so good, feels so good, feels so good.
Fade out the noise, I'm catching stones.
Fade out the noise, I'm catching stones.
Into the fire, catching stones.
Throw them higher.
You wanna break my bones and it feels so good, feels so good, feels so good.
