Caterpillar's Lament (WIP)
[Verse 1]
I'm just caterpillar;
So frail and fucking weak.
I'm just a fucking failure,
That's all I'll ever be.
[Chorus]
Oh won't someone out there please help!
(This weak, little larval thing,
Worth absolutely nothing)
The caterpillar's hurt herself!
(She's damn hideous and poor,
Worth nothing anymore)
Where has gone all the bright, white light?
(For I am caught in the abyss,
And know I will not be missed)
When will I finally take my life?
When will I finally take my life?
When will I finally take my life?
And for once be at peace inside.
