You said those words and suddenly, I'm five
And boys are bringing bugs just to kill them for my eyes
And I can see their hunger looking for a sign
That any of their destruction has me suffering inside
You take such delight
In killing my light
If I don't make a sound, does it even hurt?
I'm bending to the ground just to pick up little worms
And I have seen you relish such violence with a joy
That I've only seen before in the eyes of little boys
Discovering their power for the first time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You kissed me so hard I had a grazed chin
I saw your eyes spark at the breaking
And in them, I see hunger looking for a sign
That any of your destruction had me suffering inside
It fills you with light
To take away mine
At the cutting of your tongue, all I hear is shredding wings
Before me is a man who cares not for little things
And now I have my answer, from when I wondered who
Those little boys became because they grew up to be you
You've been playing with your power for
A long time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
A long time
You've been playing with your power for
A long time
