Spiders - Bear's Den

Is it all that you wanted?

Your hair blowing in the cold breeze

Secrets within the trees

That are not revealed to you

You’re frightened of your nature

Promises they escape you

What’s one more burden

On the back of this beast?

Didn’t you once crave it?

For the world to just stand still

For the noise to stop for a moment

And let you breathe?

You’re lighter than a feather

Lighter than «boots of Spanish leather»

That are pounding on the floorboards

Violently

I can’t take back all the hurt I’ve caused

Everything I love I have somehow lost

It’s 4 in the morning and the spiders are crawling

And my mind’s replaying pictures of all that I can’t undo

Love, I’m trying

But I can’t pull myself out when the darkness comes

Love, I’m trying

But I can’t pull myself out when the darkness comes

Is it a stain on your conscience?

Or is more like a mural

A memorial

For all those you’ve tried to be

Is it how you imagined it

In the great wide open?

All you’ve left unspoken

Now just hanging in the breeze

I can’t take back all the hurt I’ve caused

Everything I love I have somehow lost

It’s 4 in the morning and the spiders are crawling

And my mind’s replaying pictures of all that I can’t undo

Love, I’m trying

But I can’t pull myself out when the darkness comes

Love, I’m trying

But I can’t pull myself out when the darkness comes

Love, I’m trying

But I can’t pull myself out when the darkness comes

So soon

My old friend

I hope that I never see you

Again

Love, I’m trying

But I can’t pull myself out when the darkness comes

Love, I’m trying

But I can’t pull myself out when the darkness comes

Love, I’m trying

But I can’t pull myself out of this one

No I can’t pull myself out when the darkness comes
