Spiders

(album: Blue Hours - 2022)

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
You promises they escape you
What's one more burden
On the back of this beast?

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
