A Fireflies Parody (Mosquitos)

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million mosquitos
Made lunch of me as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave blood-drops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and... scratch

I'd like to make myself believe
That mosquitos drink nectar really
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake itching when I would rather be asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand biting bugs
As they tried to teach me how to karate

A Hammerhand strike above my head
A Circling kick beneath my bed
My patience is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That mosquitos drink nectar slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake itching when I would rather be asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I (finally) fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please get me mosquito coil or amatiri)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please bring me mosquito spray)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million mosquitos
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (sarcastic)

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause they come back again to f*** me from afar

I'd like to make myself believe
That mosquitos drink nectar slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake itching when I would rather be asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I (finally) fall asleep
