A song about a longneck with an abnormally short neck.

Lyrics:

In a jungle where the shadows sway
Lived a dino who was born this way
A longneck that's not so long at all
Stretch to the top but can't quite crawl

Short-necked but I'm standing tall
Reaching leaves though I might just fall
The others laugh but they don’t see
I’ll find the fruit meant just for me

Night casts blankets of silver gray
The stars
They whisper
“You’ll find your way”
The tallest branches may taunt and tease
But down below are treasures to seize

Short-necked but I'm standing tall
Reaching leaves though I might just fall
The world is wide
There's more to see
Down here there's plenty meant for me

I might not touch the skies above
But I'll climb the branches with enough love
A shorter neck but I’m still strong
The ground's a stage where I belong

Short-necked but I'm standing tall
Reaching leaves though I might just fall
The moon it glows
It beams for free
Shining bright—it believes in me

Shortneck's Lament

A song about T-rex who is tired of meat and is contemplating becoming a vegetarian, despite knowing it might lead to several essential nutrient deficiencies.

Lyrics:

In the shadow lands I walk alone
Teeth like knives but chill to the bone
Bloodstains haunt my waking mind
Carnivore curses cruelly designed

T-Rex blues shaking me
Meat’s the poison can’t you see
Dream of greens in the ancient sky
Leaves like whispers as centuries cry

Hunted hunters my empire fades
A kingdom built on bared blades
Echoes of screams ring in my chest
Dark plates glowing I can't find rest

T-Rex blues shaking me
Meat’s the poison can’t you see
Dream of greens in the ancient sky
Leaves like whispers as centuries cry

What if my teeth kissed the leaves
Branches swaying their quiet reprieve
No blood river no crimson streams
Life rebuilt from primordial dreams

Grey horizons my roar refrains
Chasing something to dull the chains
A shadow stitched from ancient threads
Rewriting the hunger the jungle dreads

Shortneck's Lament
