John Merfeld - Worm (January Sleep) Lyrics

I am the outdoors worm
I am the outdoors warm
Keep it Spartan if you want to be a part of it
No ifs ands or broken hearts man

I am the outdoor worm
I live in the Spartan's heart
It's like a poorly painted Chinese room
Inflect every response with just a speck of doom

I worship at the feet of nonbelievers holding knives up to their own throats
Envying their disconnect from everything that pleasures us
Pressure us to jump from seven floors to prove a point I guess
Until you pull me back to sleep and to sanity

Don't build it up too much in my head
Remember the context of the things that you said
Don't bow down to the queen if she's dead

Just keep your heart safe with someone who knows you
Someone grown up who never outgrows you
Remember that romance is all an illusion
And you won't be deducted for acting too human

I am the outdoor worm
I live in the Spartan's heart
And like a bird's black macabre nest
I'm making scrambled eggs inside the Spartan's chest

I am the Chinese room
I'm still a f*cking bird
And like a poorly lectured Chinese class
Just yell the word for 'insufficient' till you pass

I stumble at the feet of high achievers filling every day with paragraphs
Bound for Wikipedia of everything they did that year
Tell yourself they must have been disturbed for having been so ambitious and queer
Until you pull me back to this fine January sleep

Don't catch fire based on something I read
Remember the means by which we've all been misled
Don't lie down with the bees in my bed

Just keep your heart safe with someone who knows you
Someone grown up who never outgrows you
Remember that romance is all an illusion
And you won't be discounted for acting too human

Don't lose sleep over blood I might shed
Remember the demons that could haunt me instead
Don't turn down daily water and bread

Just keep your heart safe with someone who knows you
Someone grown up who never outgrows you
Remember that romance is all an illusion
And you won't be discounted for acting too human
