about

(a folk demo for the terminally ill... a melodious guide for passing ... or just a song I wrote in the woods)

lyrics

When ants turn into something else
that can no longer sting
they'll ride around on beetle back
and hide beneath its wing
Still, some they'll ride on bumble bee
and train them who to sting
when ants turn into something else
more like human being

When I turned into someone else
who could no longer sing
I wrote a book about myself
unpublished and obscene
And when I turned to something else
that could no longer dream
I stayed up late all by myself
away from human beings

Poison seconds
from clocks escaping
just ants on beetle back
through black forest
on streams of silver
to veils of static black
embrace the hollow
no storm of matter
scatter all your dreams
lead us void
to chasm churning
awake, awake, awake
from human being

When ants turned into something else
that could no longer sting
some rode around on beetle back
and hid beneath its wing
Still, some they rode on bumble bee
and trained them who to sting
when ants turned into something else
more like human being
