Prompt: "Love Song to a Body Part"
----Bug's Song-----
Title: The Hydra
Additional Challenge: Rule of 3
Lyrics:
I admit I was pissed when you chopped off my head
and Hercules, you looked pleased (or rather relieved?) that I was dead
but from the stump of my neck I grew two more
(I swear this has never happened before)
but I'm back and better off than I was then
(and now they're singing)
Do you think the Hydra knew that THAT would happen?
Or was he surprised as everyone of us?
Decapitate me once, shame on you, that ain't enough
Do you think the Hydra knew he'd get back up?
The first dozen times were the hardest but now I believe
before this battle started I was hopelessly naive
but now this one's a fighter, and this one's a biter
and that one's determined, and this one knows German
and one knows Karate, we call that one "choppy"
but don't talk to this one 'till he's had his coffee
we're offering all of these skills
you can chop off our heads but you can never kill
we'll just get bigger and better and stronger together
I've tethered the best parts of me so now whether
You think the Hydra knew that THAT would happen
or if he's surprised as everyone of us
Decapitate me twice, shame on you, it's still not nice
Do you think the Hydra knew he'd get back up?
Now Hercules is screaming: "this is not how this one goes"
but you've mixed up mythology for history, my foe
cause history is what happened, mythology is imagined
now I'm rewriting this myself to be the hero of this battle
Hercules, your turn to leave
your trial subscription to life is complete
I've got many mouths to feed so I'll start with non-believers
cuz I think I always knew that this would happen
That I'd surprise the world with what I've got
Decapitate me thrice, I can do this all damn night
I think I always knew I'd get back up
I think I always knew I'd get back up
---- Matt's Song -----
Title: Central Occipital Nervousness
Additional Challenge: Must be a CON song
Lyrics:
i know you
i know you're my oldest friend
before we learned how to talk
there we were, lying there
hand in hand
i know you're trying to help
i know you're trying but
there ain't no helping me
i know you're trying but
sometimes the trying just
causes more pain that it needs
i know this
We've done this a million times
It was our first party trick
Everyone
Come watch me
Flip my shit
This baby can turn on a dime
i know you're trying to help
i know you're trying but
there ain't no helping me
i know you're trying but
sometimes the trying just
causes more pain that it needs
And the worst part is that I agree
This world is frightening thing
But I'm going outside
To see what I'll find
And you can come with if you like
