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
