boys, bugs and men

You said those words and suddenly Im 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 dont make a sound

Does it even hurt

Im bending to the ground

Just to pick up little worms

And I have seen you relish

Such violence with a joy

That Ive only seen before

In the eyes of little boys

Discovering their power for the first time

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

Youve been playing with your power for a long time

A long time

Youve been playing with your power for a long time
