Question:
I don’t hear words, I just see faces
Bloody lips and blue embraces
Dancing fingertips
And patterned lies
I can’t think of what to say
But I know exactly what I’ll do
Throw sticks and stones to break your bones
Words don’t mean a thing to you
You can’t take it back
You can’t take it back
There’s no time
When you’re beating this to death
I can’t take it back
If I’m gonna make it out alive
I don’t hear words, I just see faces
Like shoes with broken laces
Tighter, tighter I pull,
But you never budge
Pat yourself on the back
You’re hard and your skin is thick
Strong and self-sufficient
Don’t call me when you make yourself sick
We can’t take it back
We can’t take it back
There’s no time
You’re beating this to death
I can’t take it back
If I’m gonna make it out alive
Last night it happened
You threw up your insides
In the upstairs bedroom
And died at the sight
Of what you are
And what you’ve done
Now you know
You can’t get what you want

If I’m gonna make it out alive This is a little bit weaker. It's more or less cliche.

Don’t call me when you make yourself sick Good again. Not as good as the first verse, but still excellent. Would it work to say "I pull tighter, tighter"?

You can’t get what you want A nice ending, I like the metaphors here.
Overall, it's an excellent song. Good work, man.
Answer:
yeah, I settled for that chorus. I'm still playing around, trying to get something real good.
