Ethan Buckner - Power Lyrics

It's easy to be humble, from well beneath the glass
No apple hanging low enough for longing arms to grasp
I hear how high you're preaching' but in the aftermath
When you taste that sweet sweet fruit there's no going back
There's no going back

If you had the power would you use it?
When you get your way do you abuse it?
You're falling back on all those old excuses
If you know you know
If you know you know

I think of all our heroes with statues and legacies
When underneath that porcelain mask they're as fallible as me
Is that what makes us human, the instinct to self deceive
Reality's revealing, we mirror history
Can't you see?

If you had the power would you use it?
When you get your way do you abuse it?
You're falling back on all those old excuses
If you know you know
If you know you know

I will be the first to admit
I don't trust myself to ace the test
And power bends to the violent
Walk careful now
Walk careful now

If you had the power would you use it?
When you get your way do you abuse it?
You're falling back on all those old excuses
And I know that you know
That you would if you could
So speak slow and let go
And if you know you know
If you know you know
If you know you know
If you know you know
Power's hard to hold
