lyrics

As I lay my head to sleep
Optimistically I try to keep
The waking creatures beneath me at bay
As they struggle to meet the day
Only hints of their lonely slumber
Wind and rain will not encumber
Their patient rise to the waiting surface
Breaking through the terra firmness

Friendly demons perform every feat
Assaulting ears and eyes a sen-sory treat
See a complete….. trans-formation
Watch the flight-ful desperation
Events cause the migration - confusion in the air
It’s all just instinctual a social affair


Warming temperatures no time to spare
Archaic insects aim to repair
Thirteen years of their destruction
A current quest to increase production
Vibrating organs create symphonies
Ringing loudly through the sober trees
Defying gravity they fill the sky
Watching us with their compound eyes

Carbon copies dried from the heat
Segmented bodies crawl and secret
Cold blooded phantoms… litter the streets
Instant protein …pred-a-torial treats
Fading light comes the muscle spasms
The spiral ending for the tiny bantams
Denying nature… so frail and tough
Float to the cosmos by eth-ereal dust
The actions are relative ..a piece of the pie
It’s all just instinctual the numbers increase in size
Inspect the fragile ganglia with coldness of a tomb
Nod off to sweet amnesia the flowers all will bloom
