SPIDER WEB

I move like a moth or a butterfly Craving a change in the wind I swirl by all the insects and all the flies Watching them cycle their end Better off dead than wasting my hours Flying where I shouldn't be Flexing like pricks with their stolen power They're just who the spider would eat Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs To build a web that'll spread through the world Feeding off our highs and lows And curious to see us struggle No one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge I'm hiding myself from the enemy I wish to not be perceived Didn't ask for this dangerous visibility I'm afraid I'm too scared to sleep Better off dead than stuck in a maze The center may seem like a gift One you arrive, it'll strip you of your life And you'll wish that you never did Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs To build a web that'll spread through the world Feeding off our highs and lows And curious to see us struggle No one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Big bite, they liquify the insides first Then wrap them tight, securing their spot in the spider web Up all night, bound to their addiction to it Lifeless eyes, they die in the pit of the spider web --- SPIDER WEB - Melanie Martinez
