Cover art for Sponge lyrics by Vic Chesnutt

Its still amazing how many ppl totally dont recognize Vic music in 2025..... even in the USA. Anyway. I think this song is a big metaphor to talk about how our lives are ephimerous from the beggining till the end. Because it talks about how the world basically sucks off all our lives at eventually will do or has done with our ancesters. We basically die and the earth claims our organic tissues and sh*t... is an amazing and at the same time scary brilliant song.
