Swarming they land upon Skin Fig flies feasting on flesh What they didn’t expect to be Was swallowed right up within Now they crawl as they wish Discomfort spreading its roots The bugs came to feast on my skin So I decided to get to them first Burying deep down Bellow Their bodies drowning in red They try to fly up and away But I won't let them haunt. Someone else.

FLESH EATING FLIES
Swarming they land upon Skin Fig flies feasting on flesh What they didn’t expect to be Was swallowed right up within Now they crawl as they wish Discomfort spreading its roots The bugs came to feast on my skin So I decided to get to them first Burying deep down Bellow Their bodies drowning in red They try to fly up and away But I won't let them haunt. Someone else.
