The Lord of Broken Things

When I was little and
You were bigger and older
We watched the water and
The others at play
I dared the deeper end
Til your cold hand pulled me away

I tried to understand
Why I triggered your anger
Tried hard to make amends
For all that I was
I washed my dirty hands
Like a penitent criminal does

No chance to make a sound
My beating heart annoyed you
I had to dial down
Put out the fire for you
I smoldered in your light
Someday I'd like to burn too

Blood is the family
We will always be brothers
I bought the fantasy
So commonly sold
I won't let it bother me
Even as my insides go cold

You had to cut my wings
And keep me down below you
The lord of broken things
Now how's that going for you
You smolder in my light
Cause now I'm burning up too

(ohs)

Got your attention now
Don't say I didn't warn you
The fires you don't put out
Just might come back to burn you
