Your Little Spider
I don't believe in evil
But you wear the devil's face.
How can not forsaking someone
Be my biggest disgrace?
Whisper to me the truth.
I have allowed you to shape me
By fighting to be everything that you're not.
I water a tree while you burn the forest;
I spread love just to spite your hate.
I swallow the pain like it's all I've got.
Tie my bonds a little tighter -
In my mind, I make them lighter.
Whisper me your lies
So I can spin them like a spider.
There are no chains about my wrists,
It's my mind that can't get free.
We both know I'd never run
If I knew you'd never catch me.
I don't remember what it feels like to be alone/
I'm just another investment you bought.
You fracture my mind as easily as my bones,
But honey, you're not the worst demon I've fought.
They use words like "resilient" and "adaptable"
When what they mean to say is "broken."
We don't want to see it in our reflection so
We leave the complexes unspoken.
Tie my bonds a little tighter -
In my mind, I make them lighter.
Whisper me your lies
So I can spin them like a spider.
There are no chains about my wrists,
It's my mind that can't get free.
We both know I'd never run
If I knew you'd never catch me.
I may be your little spider
But it's your web I'm trapped in -
It's your mind I'm wrapped in.
I can feel it snapping...
...To be consumed at your leisure.
Please
Tie my bonds a little tighter -
In my mind,
In my mind,
In my mind,
I make them lighter.
Whisper me your lies
So I can spin them like a spider.
There are no chains about my wrists,
It's my mind that can't get free.
We both know I'd never run
If I knew you'd never catch me.
