Bug Boy Lyrics by Wet Mut

Nightlight

2017

[Verse 1:]
When I was young I cut a slug to see what lie inside
Squished a fly so I could spread what made it up and lied
I was young I killed small things for fun
Bugs don't get to be young
They don't even get to grow up

[Chorus 1:]
The longer you stay young the quicker you die
Oh when you're young you feel so much more alive

[Verse 2:]
As a kid, I flipped the rocks that roofed their skies
Buried bugs that belonged here to fly
Dug them out before they ran out of air
That's what makes me me, I get to care

[Chorus 2:]
Do you got a god who cares when you go?
Mine don't care so long as I end up at home
The longer you stay young the quicker you die
Oh when you're young you feel so much more alive

[Outro:]
They will never understand my pain
Over the pain that I have caused them
When I wash them suckers down the drain
I feel a hint of joy at having caught them
