Lyrics

Five

[Verse 1]

I remember

Was the month October

In a garage I was standing

Scared and sombre

I could smell your breathing

And the pain you're leaving

So ashamed I'm feeling

And now I am left to fate

[Chorus]

For all the times I've been losing my mind

You molest and destroy just a five year old boy

You made me suffer

Motherfucker

Ripped my heart out

It was so good

[Verse 2]

I remember

Words that never left me

For a skull of silver

Here's what you'd do for me

If you tell, I'll kill you

Rip the child out from you

Wish that I could stop you

Please God, make this go away!

[Chorus]

For all the times I've been losing my mind

You molest and destroy just a five year old boy

And you made me suffer

Motherfucker

Ripped my heart out

Innocence was lost

[Post-Chorus]

And I feel it

I can't take it

I don't want it

Anymore

Was only five

And I feel it

I can't take it

Anymore

[Bridge]

For all the times I heard you

Say in my god damned mind

Make it sooner if I suck you

I'd make you suffer

Make you suffer

Motherfucker

[Chorus]

For all the times I've been losing my mind

You molest and destroy just a five year old boy

And you make me suffer

Motherfucker

Ripped my heart out

I was only-

For all the times I've been losing my mind

You molest and destroy just a five year old boy

And you make me suffer

Motherfucker

Ripped my heart out

I was only five

Five
