[Musical Intro} [Verse 1] Never visit an ant farm When you’re feeling kind of low Their little bodies are a freak of nature Bet their stories were penned by Poe Black lines marching in silence Through tunnels no daylight knows Every move feels borrowed From a nightmare’s dusty prose [Chorus] Crawl, crawl, crawl In the undertow Whispers in the dirt say Never let it show Crawl, crawl, crawl Through the undertow Tiny gothic soldiers Writing tales of woe [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Carrying crumbs like gravestones Stacked in their endless rows If you stare too long at the shadows The hive will swallow you whole The queen sits silent in darkness Like a secret you shouldn’t know Every birth, every burial Reads like an ancient ode [Chorus] Crawl, crawl, crawl In the undertow Whispers in the dirt say Never let it show Crawl, crawl, crawl Through the undertow Tiny gothic soldiers Writing tales of woe [Instrumental] [Bridge]Paper walls of the terrarium Feel like bars in a midnight cell Looking down, you see yourself Inside their living hell Screens glowing like false suns Feeding lies that cut like blades Likes and shares as poison crumbs In a feed that never fades Echoes of the cyber swarm Bullying ghosts in endless scroll Body shamed in filtered storms Losing grip on your own soul Maybe life’s just repetition Another ant line in the flow Climate fires raging outside While inside, the doubts overflow Locked doors of isolation Pandemic scars that won’t let go Identity wars in the mirror Am I real, or just for show? Pressure cracks like earthquake faults Grades and futures, guns in halls If I vanish into the pattern Would anyone even know [Chorus] Crawl, crawl, crawl In the undertow Whispers in the dirt say Never let it show Crawl, crawl, crawl Through the undertow Tiny gothic soldiers Writing tales of woe [Bridge] Never visit an ant farm when you’re feeling kind of low Never visit an ant farm when you’re feeling kind of low Parent, guardian, teacher, sibling, mother at the show Just passing by and telling you things that you really need to know [Instrumental Outro music fades]
