BUG SONG

Details

Description

Lyrics:

i haven’t washed
the dishes in a week
they’re piling up
theres bugs in the sink

and they don’t even pay
rent
no, not even a
cent

how nuanced life can be
it all seems so contradicting
to be empty is to be clean
but life will grow from dirt and seeds

and sometimes
i wish that i could be
a bug beneath your righteous feet
crushed beneath the weight of humanity
(oh the humanity)

but when it gets bad

the sun still shines
over the sewage treatment plant
and life can still survive
after all the radiation

so what? the worlds not built for love
it was built for me and you
to burn the earth, leave it behind
rebuild and start anew

i need to wash
my sheets
i wouldn’t feel the need
cuz i usually don’t sleep

but i’m getting better
at sleeping in my bed
so i guess that’s means that
i better start washing it

how nuanced life can be
it all seems so contradicting
to live is to work, to work is to die
we pay the cost of being alive

sometimes
i wish that i could be
a bug beneath your righteous feet
crushed beneath the weight of humanity
(oh the humanity)

but when it gets bad

the sun still shines
over the sewage treatment plant
and life can still survive
after all the radiation

so what? the worlds not built for love
it was built for me and you
to burn the earth, leave it behind
rebuild and start anew
