Lyrics Speedy Ortiz – Hexxy

Never was the one
To keep our plants alive in the sun
Feeding all the slugs and ticks
That dragged around in the mud

As if it was torture porn
This light piles me up to my neck
In centipedes and scorpions
My dear, don’t you know it’s a trick?

So if it’s my birthday, did I just get lucky?
Or did I just toss me in?
Lost my little brother, am I just a killer?
Was he just a bug I squished?

Who were you to call me out
On walking on two legs not six?
And six times I got swatted down in the mesh
I was gnawing on all your debris

So if it’s my birthday, were you born just like me
With my very heart and teeth?
Ate the other children hatching from my mother
Come on, would you let me feed?

So if it’s my birthday, were you born just like me
With my very heart and teeth?
Ate the other children hatching from my mother
Come on, would you let me feed?
