Dear Wormwood

When I was a child, I didn't hear a single word you said

The things I was afraid of, they were all confined beneath my bed

But the years have been long, and you have taught me well to hide away

The things that I believed in, you've taught me to call them all escapes

I know who you are now

I know who you are

I know who you are now

There before the threshold, I saw a brighter world beyond myself

And in my hour of weakness, you were there to see my courage fail

For the years have been long, and you have taught me well to sit and wait

Planning without acting, steadily becoming what I hate

I know who you are now

I know who you are

I know who you are now

I have always known you

You have always been there in my mind

But now I understand you

And I will not be part of your designs

I know who I am now

And all that you've made of me

I know who you are now

And I name you my enemy

I know who I am now

I know who I want to be

I want to be more than

This devil inside of me
