The Anglerfish Song

Yes it's true that I once went through life
 As a guy who always had to rhyme life with strife
 Yes, I've been burned and 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 alone
 If it's all you've ever known
 Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
 Has no reason to be happy
 But it has no frikkin' idea
 What else to be
 The deep sea 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 the female on her side
 And then slowly he becomes
 A sperm-producing parasite
 And if we can 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 alone
 If it's all you've ever known
 Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
 Has no reason to be happy
 But it has no frikkin' idea
 What else to be
 For years this rule has kept me
 Out of hopeless despair
 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 alone
 If it's all you've ever known
 Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
 Has no reason to be happy
 But she has no frikkin' idea
 What else to be.
