Song by Joey Shoji

lyrics

From birth I knew you not as "worm" or "monster"
I grew and learned to see you as a friend
But now the time of choices is upon me
And dying might be easier an end

Our ancestors had fled here from their own world
To find a place where they could all be free
But this "preserve" your kind gave us to live in
Is looking more a prison camp to me

Chorus:
The taste of egg, the sting of tail
Your limbs caress and cage me in
Through soothing, lulling, dulling dreams
I sense your children lie within

You taught me with your diagrams and drawing
To make me understand the birthing way
But I was never shown the pain or terror
Protected, yes, until that awful day

When the man without the one whose seed he carried (*)
Could wait no longer, to your limbs he clung
I watched in horror as she ripped him open
To pluck out all the healthy blood-fed young

Chorus:
The taste of egg, the sting of tail
Your limbs caress and cage me in
Through soothing, lulling, dulling dreams
I know your children grow within

I saw that we were merely your host creatures
And suicide my best alternative
But you said you had long ago decided
So with your love for me I chose to live

Upon that day I let you place inside me
The first of several eggs which I now bear
And yet, in drowsy half-sleep I remember
The writhing, oozing flesh ... and I despair

Chorus:
The taste of egg, the sting of tail
Your limbs caress and cage me in
Through soothing, lulling, dulling dreams
I feel your children feed within

(*) - Julia sings this differently. Joey's original line was "The man, without the ones whose grubs he carried"
