My claws dig into the damp sand I twist my head and eye you down This is my piece of putrid land A place that my offspring will be around My shell is my only true salvation Allowing me to hide in plain sight Not having to worry about isolation Or moving at the speed of light My jaw can keep me out of distress It is the one true weapon I need I am left with no one to impress My attitude stems from eating devil’s **** My prey is usually already dead But I am also a very skilled seeker I can always survive on an oyster bed Because there is nothing weaker

My claws dig into the damp sand I twist my head and eye you down This is my piece of putrid land A place that my offspring will be around My shell is my only true salvation Allowing me to hide in plain sight Not having to worry about isolation Or moving at the speed of light My jaw can keep me out of distress It is the one true weapon I need I am left with no one to impress My attitude stems from eating devil’s **** My prey is usually already dead But I am also a very skilled seeker I can always survive on an oyster bed Because there is nothing weaker
