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
