Prompt: "Love Song to a Body Part"

----Bug's Song-----

Title: The Hydra

Additional Challenge: Rule of 3

Lyrics:

I admit I was pissed when you chopped off my head

and Hercules, you looked pleased (or rather relieved?) that I was dead

but from the stump of my neck I grew two more

(I swear this has never happened before)

but I'm back and better off than I was then

(and now they're singing)

Do you think the Hydra knew that THAT would happen?

Or was he surprised as everyone of us?

Decapitate me once, shame on you, that ain't enough

Do you think the Hydra knew he'd get back up?

The first dozen times were the hardest but now I believe

before this battle started I was hopelessly naive

but now this one's a fighter, and this one's a biter

and that one's determined, and this one knows German

and one knows Karate, we call that one "choppy"

but don't talk to this one 'till he's had his coffee

we're offering all of these skills

you can chop off our heads but you can never kill

we'll just get bigger and better and stronger together

I've tethered the best parts of me so now whether

You think the Hydra knew that THAT would happen

or if he's surprised as everyone of us

Decapitate me twice, shame on you, it's still not nice

Do you think the Hydra knew he'd get back up?

Now Hercules is screaming: "this is not how this one goes"

but you've mixed up mythology for history, my foe

cause history is what happened, mythology is imagined

now I'm rewriting this myself to be the hero of this battle

Hercules, your turn to leave

your trial subscription to life is complete

I've got many mouths to feed so I'll start with non-believers

cuz I think I always knew that this would happen

That I'd surprise the world with what I've got

Decapitate me thrice, I can do this all damn night

I think I always knew I'd get back up

I think I always knew I'd get back up

Title: Central Occipital Nervousness

Additional Challenge: Must be a CON song

Lyrics:

i know you

i know you're my oldest friend

before we learned how to talk

there we were, lying there

hand in hand

i know you're trying to help

i know you're trying but

there ain't no helping me

i know you're trying but

sometimes the trying just

causes more pain that it needs

i know this

We've done this a million times

It was our first party trick

Everyone

Come watch me

Flip my shit

This baby can turn on a dime

i know you're trying to help

i know you're trying but

there ain't no helping me

i know you're trying but

sometimes the trying just

causes more pain that it needs

And the worst part is that I agree

This world is frightening thing

But I'm going outside

To see what I'll find

And you can come with if you like
