Prompt: "Taking Up Space"

--Bug's Song--

Title: The Devil

Additional Challenge: Chapter 2

Lyrics:

 I never said I was, I only let you think it

I blurred the lines because I live my life between them


I wasn't always like this... wasn't handsome with a heartbeat and a smile

I was perfect up until the day I died

I had branches, I had leaves, I had fruits filled up with seeds

I had roots they left abandoned when they hacked me into pieces

built a house out of my corpse, I'm in the walls, I'm in the porch

but when I learn to speak I'll scream in every creak inside your floors

[Chorus]

It took some practice but I finally learned to fight

I could shift and trip my captors when they walked the halls at night

I could slowly change the layout, jam the doors too tight to budge

change the angle of the stairs enough to learn the taste of blood

I wasn't always like this but they chose to chop me down

but when I began to fight them back they burned me to the ground

[Chorus]

So I was soil, then a million writhing bugs

I was maggots in the graveyard, then the crows that ate them up

I spent 100 years invading every creature I could reach

slowly poisoning the town 'till every inch had bits of me

I drove them mad, I made them sick, moving pieces into place

slowly moving all my molecules in towards a single shape

and thus became the demon that you incorrectly name

I met the one you think I am, many years before you came

When I told him what I'd done he cut the horns right off his head

he bolted them to mine and said I'm twisted as it gets

So I don't know where he is now, that devil that you know

but I've taken up the title, I'm the one you fuckin don't

[Chorus]

on a couch in a room in a house in a city on an island on a planet in a star system

i was torn out of the nothing and born into a body given eyes given ears and emotional disregulation

i coulda been anybody anything anywhere but here i am

on a couch in a room in a house in a city just jerking off and watching the same three shows again


and why try when you're not here to see how hard this is for me

i think i'll just let the dead boy take the wheel for a little while

and i'm fine okay i'm lying but it's c
