Maggots

# MAGGOTS [Intro — whispered, playful] Hey. You hear that? Something's crawling. [Verse 1] Got a little voice living under my skin Telling me to smile while it’s digging right in Everybody's talking, but nobody says shit So I nod my head like a good little hypocrite Got a pretty pink room and a garbage-can heart Put a bow on the mess, call it modern art You want the truth? Well, here's a little taste: Everybody's got maggots hiding someplace [Pre-Chorus] Crawl, crawl, crawl Underneath it all Laugh, laugh, laugh While the ceiling starts to crack [Chorus] MAGGOTS! Dancing in my head MAGGOTS! Underneath my bed Little tiny thoughts going Round and round and round I shake them out my ears But they keep coming back around MAGGOTS! Isn't it romantic? MAGGOTS! Everything's fantastic! Put a smile on my face And call me dramatic I'm perfectly fine— That's fucking fantastic! [Verse 2] I keep my bad ideas in a jar on the shelf Right next to the trophies I won for being myself Mom says, "Calm down," so I turn up the noise Dad says, "Act your age," so I sharpen my voice I'm a walking contradiction in a secondhand dress I say "I don't care" when I obviously care less I've got seventeen problems and they're all named Dave They keep throwing little parties in the back of my brain [Pre-Chorus] Crawl, crawl, crawl They're having a ball Laugh, laugh, laugh Isn't this a fucking blast? [Chorus] MAGGOTS! Dancing in my head MAGGOTS! Underneath my bed Little tiny thoughts going Round and round and round I shake them out my ears But they keep coming back around MAGGOTS! Isn't it romantic? MAGGOTS! Everything's fantastic! Put a smile on my face And call me dramatic I'm perfectly fine— That's fucking fantastic! [Bridge — bass and drums drop] One for the money, Two for the show, Three little maggots Putting on a show— [Beat kicks back in] I said, "GET OUT!" They said, "NO!" I said, "PLEASE!" They said, "LOL!" [Breakdown] CRAWL! CRAWL! CRAWL! Inside my head! LAUGH! LAUGH! LAUGH! Until I'm dead— [Instrumental stop] ...Okay. [Final Chorus — explosive] MAGGOTS! Dancing in my head MAGGOTS! Everywhere I tread Little tiny thoughts going Round and round and round I swear I kill the noise But it always comes back loud MAGGOTS! Everybody's got 'em MAGGOTS! Nobody forgot 'em We're all just little creatures Trying not to rot 'em So put on your smile And pretend that you've got 'em— [Outro — quiet, amused] Crawl, crawl, crawl... See you tomorrow. They're always hungry.
