Boys, Bugs and Men

[Verse 1]
You said those words and suddenly, I'm five
And boys are bringin' bugs just to kill them for my eyes
And I can see their hunger, lookin' for a sign
That any of their destruction has me sufferin' inside
[Pre-Chorus]
You take such delight in killin' my light
[Chorus]
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, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
You kissed me so hard I had a grazed chin
I saw your eyes spark at the breaking
And in them, I see hunger, lookin' for a sign
That any of your destruction had me sufferin' inside
[Pre-Chorus]
It fills you with light to take away mine
[Chorus]
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, oh-oh, oh-oh, a long time
[Post-Chorus]
You've been playing with your power for a long time
