Where were you
When the spiders came down and grew
Envious of
All we knew
To be perfectly plain?
Where were you
When they decided to take our
Undeserved arms and legs and
Wander away?
Wander away
You became
Ever, ever so generous
Living in this
Black wonderland
How could we let our
Anger get so far
Out of hand to throw
Every last pawn we had
Into a war in Arachnid Land?
And when did we learn to
Sit so well on this
Burning carousel?
You became
Ever, ever so generous
Living in this
Black wonderland
You gave us shelter
Shelter from the rain
Almost as though you didn’t notice
I have been burning, I’m burning
I’m burning alive
We watch the pieces fall
And like clowns at funerals, this
Camera strolls us
Right through fields of red
We forget all the rules
They’re pyrite; made for fools
So we forget
Every word we said
The butterflies with bat-like wings
And hollow eyes give me the creeps
And I know that I can’t stop it
The bluebirds sit and wonder why
The blackbirds circle
Waiting for us to die
I can’t stop it
You became
Ever, ever so generous
Living in this
Black wonderland
You gave us shelter
Shelter from the rain
Almost as though you didn’t notice
I have been burning, I’m burning
I’m burning alive
