Fear and loathing in the glade!
The reptilian arousal of hot beneath the collar
The lush of summer’s cactus blossoming crush on me
(according to all palmetto leaves)
Heard there’s a seer in this swamp–
I’m sure he wouldn’t mind some company
I’m as meek as moths
But getting riper with the rage
Borne of our clusterf#ck engagement
Don’t get upset
I’m not upset
Are you upset baby?
I wish it could have been like, somewhere in Chicago
I built your castle from the corpses
Of a million tiny sеahorses and shells
Barnacles up in thе belfry
But now with how fractured I feel
I’ve become an electric eel inside a pool of plecos
And I’m cool with it
In my catatonia
You came to me from in a forest fire
Said, “I’m only stopping through for the night
We can order pad thai, settle in, and have a long talk”
So, you’re not coming out
Have I always been so dumb?
How could I not see this coming?
So I’m upset, yeah I’m upset, aren’t you upset baby?
I gotta tell these cryptid kids their mom isn’t coming
Well tell me what’s a girl to do when Satan shows up on your stoop
I’m at a loss–he is inverting all my crosses
But turns out to be a lovely dude and I wanna show off my home studio
And we bond over which Black Sabbath LPs we dig
Old Scratch with stingray bass in hand and I make up a metal band
So full of fuzz and so downtuned that it’s disgusting
Plus I’ve got a spot we can rehearse
So cool, crepuscular, and cursed that you could laugh
Like over the credits of a slasher film
