kyla tilley - the roach's lament lyrics
my mother told me to be careful
to mind where i’m treading
when i leave the nest
you’d be wise to watch where you’re going
the route you are keeping
could shorten your life
cause you never know
what may be lurking
at night in the kitchen
awaiting a meal
now lately the way to the pantry
had strangely been clearer
than ever before
and sadly i let my mind wander
forgot mother’s cautions
fеll into routine
and i did not see eight furry legs
hiding undеr the counter
until i saw myself reflected
nine times over in her ugly eyes
her mandibles cl!cking excitedly
i heard her tummy
growling as she stared hungrily at me
she had me and i could do nothing
nor could my brothers
who saw it transpire
i thought fondly of moonlight and breadcrumbs
and all of those good things
i’ll never more see
when a shadow fell over the kitchen
a human had entered
i thought myself saved
but d+mn humans think i am more filthy
than their guns and oppression
they side with the huntsman
and leave me to die
leave me to die
but my species has been here far longer
and we will outlast them
we will live through all their nuclear war
but i
i shall not see that day
or any other
or any other
alas the only thing i’ll see
is the lair of the huntsman
and my poor old mother will know it’s the
last thing i saw
before i died
