For this track I was feeling incredibly dysphoric and I wanted folks in Song Fight! to try treating me in a feminine manner. So I came up with the <3 alter-ego.
Unfortunately people figured out it was me pretty quickly and thought I was just trolling them.
See the little ants walking down the path They don’t know how to do anything, they’re bad at math But a little tiny queen can make some more One and one make two, two and two make four
And then what happens next is the worlds collide When a little tiny ant finds the world inside And the little worker ants can all pass the test They all work together to bring everything back to the nest
And when someone finds out it doesn’t matter The little tiny ants have made the queen get fatter So she can lay her eggs all day So it doesn’t matter when the people get the spray
There are so many ants that they cannot die For every ant that’s in the house there’s two outside All that we can do is let them be Learn to love each other for the world to see
I feel safe without you (without you) I feel safe when I’m with you (when I’m with you) I feel safe when I’m near you (when I’m near you) But I don’t think that I need you (that I need you)
You know what it is like when you are alone Walking in the dark, trying to get home Every little thing that can make a sound Scares you half to death and you look around
YOu cannot help but fear for your life What if somebody is there who has a knife But you know that in your heart you will be okay And that everything will let you live another day
When you get inside you look around Thousands of little black dots are on the ground They go on with life without a care Eating all the food that they find lying there
It is no matter what you do or say Nothing will make the ants ever go away The lesson that we learn is when the day is done The little tiny ants are the ones who have won
I feel safe without you (without you) I feel safe when I’m with you (when I’m with you) I feel safe when I’m near you (when I’m near you) But I don’t think that I need you (that I need you) (I need you) (I need you) (I need you) (I need you) (I need you) (I need you) (I need you)
