Spider Web

Melanie Martinez

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 the cycle they're in

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 will 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 feeling too scared to sleep

Better off dead than stuck in a maze

The center may seem like a gift

Once 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
