Confessions Of A Crabman

All my life
I have not been accepted
An outcast, an alien

Didn’t wanna do it
But they left me no choice
Pushed too far, lost my mind

My exoskeleton can take the beatings
But it hurts so much inside
Hide my tail under my thorax
But I might go out and kill tonight

Killed a man
with my bare claws
Used his flesh for vindaloo

Now my kids
Are playing with his bones
And use his skin for drawing too

I never thought it’d come to this
Cut off his head and slit his wrists
By Carcinus, what have I done

But there’s only so much a crab
can take before he fuckin’ snaps
He started it and then I won

This must remain a secret
One that I’ll take to the grave
I’ll get the chair for this one
My family will be enslaved
I just gotta smile and walk away

I cross the street sideways
Change my shell because I can
Accept the fact, I’m not a humanoid
But more than once I’ve killed a man
