lyrics

i opened the front door and let a stink bug in
(i can't do anything right)
sat still on the front porch for 45 years
(i don't deserve to stand)
holding close the echo of a passing melody
(i'm holding onto a lie)
i feel myself grow heavier to meet gravity
(some day i'm going to die)

all the notes become discordant
all the notes become discordant

i stepped on a stink bug and became god
(god)
watched the front door fall from a hinge
(and i collapse to the floor)
i'll never have enough money to die like the attractive people
(i'm not really alive)
i'll never have enough money to die like the attractive people
(i'm just waiting)

i'm an insect
(step on me)
i'm an insect
(step on me)
i'm an insect
(just use me)
i don't think or feel shit
(inhuman)

i'm drunk and lonely again

i am gregor
i am gregor
i am gregor
i am gregor
