Free from all disease
But still so unclean
Despite our hunger
We don't need to eat
In metallic shells we live
In metallic shells we meet
Devouring our books and glue
Shed and eat old skin to become the new
Do you want this dance?
Back and forth and trembling
If I run away, do you think you would
Chase after me?
Leave silver shells behind
And swim on land and shine
Will you be my pest?
After I'm gone you'll get your wish
I am just one of billions
Gleaming in an endless brilliance
I am just one small silverfish
