Spiderbite





Spiderbite Lyrics







You got a spider bite

And maybe you told me you'd be alright

You got a spider bite

You didn't know what to do

Oh I wasn't lonely but I wasn't free

Until the chance came to me

And if I had the choice I'd choose to live

And I would swallow my own pride

And surely I would find

A fantasy where you would just forgive me

I am not afraid to lose

For I am slave to what I choose to be

If I fail I will

Be content to hide inside myself

You got a spider bite

Yet you seemed to think you had to fight

You got a spider bite

My dreams were coming true

Each photograph of you up on a stage

Just seemed to jump from the film, from the page

Why did you quit in a rage?

Art is a fallacy

A swallowing of pride because

Inside I know what it oughta be

That which strikes to the heart of me

Booming bass of my soul's beat

Something within that controls me

Speaks to the world "now behold me"

Shatters to pieces the old me

And you coulda had it all

What were you thinking, how could you fall

From the limelight cast on your soul on blast

You were so damn beautiful, body musical

Fluttershy do you know what I'd give

Only for an ounce of the life you'd lived?

I would kill for the fame

I would strangle the world till it coughed my name

I would feed on the pain, no shame

Greed seething, eating away at the brain

But you know what's most fucked up?

The part I'm most jealous of?

I love how you walked away

I wish I could just walk away

End this dream that seems to be in a reeling whirlwind of dismay

But I can't go back now

This is my language

All the words I know never will be heard

In the dark roads where I languish

By the time this night goes by I'll be relapsed on my hopes

Writing all this out as a route to be back once more with my back to the ropes

I got a spider bite

An itch of the songs that I should write

I got a spider bite

I'm driven just like you

If I had wings I'd be touching the stars

Maybe some magic will map where you are

So when I'm done I can show you so far

I still think of you

You will be there too

In my fantasies

In my wildest dreams
