Food for Worms Lyrics by Courtney Swain, Tim Doherty

For Once

2022

Winning was the easy part
Now we wait for the sun to sop up
Sorrow clinging to the spuds
A famine of the heart

Worm food making worm food

Black winds call the frost
Wiping names from the quiet block
Crushing leaves in a cup
We drink to the one truth we got

Worm food making worm food

Needle and a thread
Circle 'round my head
Tossing in bed
Circles 'round my head

Gnash the molars, bite the moss
Return to the belly of the frost
Our slither-kin wait for us
In the forest, bury our loss

Worm food making worm food
