I will find you when I'm older
But you will not recognize me
Cause I'm the little girl you prayed for
But I turned out to be a boy
Oh, do you still remember me
Hiding underneath the sun
My face covered in warm sand
And nobody was ashamed

And all the trigger-happy madmen
They're gathering 'round my coffin
They're holding up their cameras
Looking through the blind glass

I will never see the dark hose
Hang through the window of your car
And I will never know how you've learned
That twenty minutes are a long long time
'Cause one day I will find out
The prey was never only me
The vulture and the little girl
They killed you too..

And all the trigger-happy madmen
They're gathering 'round my coffin
They're holding up their cameras
Looking through the blind glass
They're saying don't chase the bird away
You know it gotta stay just by that little boy
We can't change what's happening
We're only capturing everything that needs to be told
And everybody else is aiming for a good shot
And haunted for a while now, a revenant thought
Did I let you down
