The Mushroom's Tale

[Verse] Fungi Fungi Glowing in the night Mushroom story twistin' Takin' flight One little shroom Searching out the way Eating other fungi To hear what humans say [Verse 2] Mushroom on a mission Soaking up the sounds Absorbing all the knowledge Buried in the ground Feastin' on its brethren Growin' tall and strong Craving human chatter All night long [Chorus] Mushroom in the moonlight Reachin' for the sky Devourin' its siblings In hopes to clarify The secrets of the humans The language that they share The mushroom's mighty hunger Leads it to despair [Verse 3] In the forest's whisper Listens with great care Seeking out the voices Floating in the air Munching on the mosses Gaining insight rare Hoping to decipher Words beyond compare [Verse 4] Mycelium connecting Threads of life entwine Gathering the wisdom From the earth's design Feasting without ceasing On a quest divine To understand the human And their complex mind [outro] Mushroom in the silence Stretching to the stars Consuming all its kinfolk To learn what words are ours The riddles of existence The tales that we impart The mushroom's quest for meaning Is a lonely art
