LYRICS!
Yes it’s true that I once went through life as the guy who always had to rhyme life with strife!
Yes I’ve been burned,
I’ve been spurned,
And through it all yes I have learned,
That love is not about whether you get stabbed,
But how slow the knife gets turned!
But my friends I’ve found an animal who doesn’t feel this pain,
And my life is so much better now that I can feel the same!

Because you can’t hate the night,
If you’ve lived your whole life without light!
And you can’t hate the dish,
If you’ve only ever eaten fish!
And you can’t feel a lone if it’s all you’ve ever known!
The deep sea Anglerfish has not reason to be happy,
But it has not frikkin idea what else to be!

The deep see dwelling Anglerfish never has to find a mate,
They are always there together when it’s time to procreate!
See one dark night a young male bites a female on her side,
And then slowly he becomes a sperm-producing parasite!
And if we could say he lives at all he lives until she dies
And until that day he literally never leaves her side!

Yeah you can’t hate the night,
If you’ve lived your whole life without light!
And you can’t hate the dish,
If you’ve only ever eaten fish!
And you can’t feel a lone if it’s all you’ve ever known!
The deep sea Anglerfish has not reason to be happy,
But it has not frikkin idea what else to be!
For years this rule has kept me out of hopeless despaired,
You simply do not feel what is always there!
I ask my brain to entertain that pain is the same,
That if I feel it all the time can you really call it pain?
I don’t have any friends,
And I don’t have any hair,
But neither does the anglerfish
And she doesn’t care!

Because you can’t hate the night,
If you’ve lived your whole life without light!
And you can’t hate the dish,
If you’ve only ever eaten fish!
And you can’t feel a lone if it’s all you’ve ever known!
The deep sea Anglerfish has not reason to be happy,
But it has not frikkin idea what else to be!
