你 如常再前來搾取
誰能阻撓 説聲不許
你似有權隨意
用完誰 就用完誰
但我 為何有如無脊椎
隨時痴迷到 肯捐軀
儍到慘遭吃掉時
還是會 沉醉於 魔爪裏
含笑中 給撕碎
誤信犧牲給你 乃上帝規矩
你覺得你比世界重要
你覺得我比螞蟻渺小
還看 少了我 和我的渺小
能夠怎使你 終身困擾
哪個可以比哪個重要
節節緊扣 彷如情感 這刻怎知曉
和你的故事完了
最尾會是誰在笑
這 排名要如何去分
循環中 誰更高一等
如你擔當了巨人
如沒眼前最低的蚯蚓
誰來被你悲憫
是我謙卑的對照 讓你開心
你覺得你比世界重要
你覺得我比螞蟻渺小
還看 少了我 和我的渺小
能夠怎使你 終身困擾
哪個可以比哪個重要
節節緊扣 彷如情感 這刻怎知曉
和你的故事完了
最尾會是誰在笑
莫問在你眼中 多次要
萬物沒有哪種 可缺少
若我這砥柱 塌下了
誰來讓你 自覺高超
你覺得你比世界重要
你覺得我比螞蟻渺小
除去這個我 和我的渺小
何以可使你 偉大不了
怕有天你將我殺絕了
引致改變 雖然微小 打擊可不小
才覺醒這段纏繞
我痛你亦無力笑
