Change (In The House Of Flies)

Deftones · B-Sides & Rarities [2005]

I watched you change

Into a fly

I looked away

You were on fire

I watched a change in you

It's like you never had wings

Now you feel so alive

I've watched you change

I took you home

Set you on the glass

I pulled off your wings

Then I laughed

I watched a change in you

It's like you never had wings

Now you feel so alive

I've watched you change

It's like you never had wings

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

I look at the cross

Then I look away

give you the gun

blow me away

I watched a change in you

It's like you never had wings

Now you feel so alive

I've watched you change

You feel alive

You feel alive

You feel alive

I've watched you change

It's like you never had wings

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

You Changed

You Changed

You Changed

It remains a staple of their discography, often cited alongside other key releases like "Around The Fur" and "Koi No Yokan" as essential listening for fans of the genre.
