Insect World

I just wanted to play with some distorted guitar sounds and then I for some reason started thinking about bugs and this thing just came out. Uh, hope you're not too bothered by creepy crawlies.

In the hot damp air a current swirled
Lost somewhere deep in the insect world
Sprouting legs and antennae and wings
Thunder crashed sought shelter from the storm
Held my breath and dove into the swarm
Where I can't be reached by anything
Bees buzzing as crickets chirp near the termite mounds
Red ants are burrowing into the swampy ground
Grasshoppers jumping around in the scraggly weeds
Gnats flying under the tree where the mantis feeds
Starting to feel more at home in this strange place
Never was really much more than an insect
Writhing and wriggling around as a hornet flies
Gazing at vast fields of view through my compound eyes
Beetles and ticks crawl along through the undergrowth
Towards where the butterfly queen takes her sacred oath
Watching the ladybugs dance in the flowerbed
Dodging mosquitoes that whirl all around my head
Hear all the cicadas sing out their droning song
Legions of colorful moths flap their wings along
Letting go of myself joined with the hive mind
I don't miss miss my old life at all
I'm living up to my fullest potential here
In the insect world's sprawl
