Slug - Snail Mail

Oh garden slug

What would you give to live like one of us?

Or would you rather wait in the shade?

Just the same as every day

Oh useless thing

What does another useless day bring?

Did you just lie in place?

Emulated by the way I lie awake

And in the waves I could’ve sworn that I saw my own reflection

And it was someone else’s in the back

I could’ve waited my whole life to

Know the difference

But I should’ve just known better than that

And oh, is it easiest to hide

Under covered rocks

Or would you rather cut it all down

Just to keep it from dragging you around?

And in the waves I could’ve sworn that I saw my own reflection

And it was someone else’s in the back

I could’ve waited my whole life to

Know the difference

But I should’ve just known better than that

So if you look death right in the face, don’t thank him

'Cause there’s nothing and there won’t ever be

And in moss covered springs you’d never find anything

So what’s the use in hiding under our feet?
