First I was afraid, I was petrified

I didn’t know if I could live with silica inside

But then I spent so many years buried under all those layers

I grew strong

I learned how to be a stone

And now I’m back

From underground

I don’t erode so fast as all this crumbly sandstone all around

I’ve been transformed by all this waiting into something that could last

You just hang a sign around me and you send those tourists past

Can we please not post horribly cropped comics? Find the original source for respect to the artist.

(already made a previous comment but I thought I should repeat it here ... I agree, we should always include the artist and their work with every new post)

It seems like the bottom part is missing, let me guess, it's "now I'm petrified"?

It looks like there was a text box bottom-left that was cropped out, but I think it's funnier without it.

I thought it was a comic against clear-cutting.

SYAC

At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong And I grew strong and I learned how to get along

[Verse 1] And so you're back, from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

[Pre-Chorus] Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?

[Chorus] Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey

Never read the lyrics for that song before, damn good writing

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

So many of the classics are just cringey from today's perspective. This one truly stands the test of time. And if one is into karaoke, it's nice because, unlike so many classics that we ALL KNOW, it's not massively repetitive, either.
