[Verse 1]
Let's try to give this one creation a start
Sweep the floor for joints that fell apart
What's rotten, ruined, can't be made anew
No point in thoughtless chewing. It is true.
[Verse 2]
I need to stitch it tight, to seal the wax
His eyes are empty still, but I'm not blamed for that
A doll that lives to please, I will refuse
I'll trade this plastic for a sacred skin to use.
[Chorus]
I feel them crawling, beetles 'neath my skin
Since these eyes first opened, I have never wanted in
With hateful faces, they bring poison for the ant
But I am that ant they hunt! Tearing me apart!
[Verse 3]
Let's try to call me back, to make me whole
Re-animate the fragments, take control
I take the needle and the thread, I peer
Into the glass, to mend the face I fear.
[Verse 4]
Symmetry of ladybugs will catch a human eye
While centipedes with countless legs keep rhythm passing by
Their tap is perfect meter, a cool and clicking sound
A pulse from sacred ground, on which we are not found.
[Chorus]
I feel them crawling, beetles 'neath my skin
Since these eyes first opened, I have never wanted in
With hateful faces, they bring poison for the ant
But I am that ant they hunt! Tearing me apart!
[Verse 5]
I'll stitch the blades on where my hands should be
Like limbs of some preying mantis, patiently
To grind the idols is my destined path
These bugs disgust all humankind, and I deserve their wrath.
[Verse 6]
I hold a deep disgust for every bug and fly
I crushed their wings to form the core of what was "I"
It watches now, it turns its head, it crackles and it creaks
They must boil us to be freed, to silence what still speaks.
[Chorus]
I feel them crawling, beetles 'neath my skin
Since these eyes first opened, I have never wanted in
With hateful faces, they bring poison for the ant
But I am that ant they hunt! Tearing me apart!
