Spiders

I hear the spiders in the wall
I hear them coming down the hall
They push me down into my chair
I try to pretend they aren't there

They're turning on the damn TV
They're pushing their pills into me
They want to give me what I lack
They’re telling me I should relax

Oh, Spiders

The spiders get inside my brain
Said they could take away the pain
No need to worry or complain
And every day will be the same

Spiders are crawling on my skin
And they know just where I've been
Telling me that it's a sin
And then they sink their teeth right in

They're in the Bottle
They're on the TV
They're on the Radio
They're living inside of me

They wrap me up and hold me tight
Another drink to make it through the night
There's just no reason left to fight
The spiders take another bite

The spiders packed my dreams away
Now it's just another day
Don't want to go, but I can't stay
Gotta get to work or I'll be late

Oh, Spiders

My skin is hot my tongue is dry
And I think that I know why
It's that my future's been wiped clean
And I've got nothing left to dream

The spiders pour another drink
They're trying to tell me what to think
Feels like I've always been asleep
My days just endlessly repeat

I used to have a name
I used to have an opinion
But now I play their game
And pour another gin

They want to show me what is real
The spiders help me not to feel
They told me that I need to learn
That it is none of my concern

Spiders are coming through my screen
They're feeding on all of my dreams
I scrub away, I can't get clean
Another cog in the Machine™

Oh, Spiders

The spiders underneath my bed
They're burrowing inside my head
Spinning their webs, catching my thoughts
Judging me by what I bought

And then I stumble through my day
The threads of silk getting in my way
There's no escape, they know my fears
Been tracking me for many years

So I sit staring into space
Their webs enveloping my face
They gently cover up my eyes
It's easy to believe their lies

All I have to do is to submit
It feels better than I should admit
I've learned how to recite my lines
Those spiders are good friends of mine.

They're on my paycheck
They're in my pills
They're on the billboards
They drink their fill

Oh, spiders
