Snail Mail - Slug

Oh, garden slug
What would you give to live like one of us?
Or would you rather wait in the shade?
Just the same as every day
And oh, useless thing
What does another useless day bring?
Did you just lie in place?
Emulated by the way I lie awake

And in the waves I could've sworn that I saw my own reflection
And it was someone else's in the back
I could've waited my whole life to know the difference
And I should've just known better than that

Oh, is it easiest to hide
Under covered rocks?
Or would you rather cut it all down
Just to keep it from dragging you around?

And in the waves I could've sworn that I saw my own reflection
And it was someone else's in the back
I could've waited my whole life to know the difference
And I should've just known better than that

So if you look death right in the face, don't thank him
'Cause there's nothing and there won't ever be
And in moss-covered springs you'd never find anything
So what's the use in hiding under our feet?
