The Ant & the Engineer Lyrics by One Nasty Swing

Collective Post Traumatic Syndrome

2023

There's yellow in your eyes said the ant to the engineer
There's rot and corruption coming out of your mandibles
Said the craftsman...
Come again near the anthill...
And let us treat your illness as only we can
A cog in the machine is all you've ever been oh thee oh little ant
Don't you see the might of my achievements?
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Defiant in front of fate, together
My outer hardness matches the one inside of you
It's true, wе do stand on the brink
Who knows what one step togеther could mean?
There's yellow in your eyes (x3)
Said the ant
There's yellow in your eyes (x3)
Said the ant
Distilling the knowledge of the elders, into a better future
Working hard building a grid of ressources, standing tall against all the scourges
Me and you, we are meant are to be, don't you see, the beauty, the majesty of our Queen to be
Engineer hear my plight! x2
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Defiant in front of fate, together
My outer hardness matches the one inside of you
It's true, we do stand on the brink
Who knows what one step together could mean?
There's yellow in your eyes (x3)
Said the ant
There's yellow in your eyes (x3)
Said the ant
Why would you heal me and not the others? Is it to form an empire?
I couldn't admit that I was dying, am I being chastised for my sins?
I'll follow you and take a sample of your cure, I'll trade for it the most precious of ore
My health is gone, my insides are scorched, my back hurts so much
The ant was lying, scurrying away
The voice remaining, in the blades
Of the fan on my table...
Am I crazy, Am I losing my head, as I'm dying... Way too young, way too young to die
