until i bite

Intro

Hush now

Eight feet crawling

Cold

Hush now

Verse 1

Legs tapping on your clean white ceiling

Black silk

Waiting for the boot to hit the wood

Smaller than your fear

Looking down while you try to scream

Pre-Chorus

They never asked for me

I never chose the corner

One twitch of the web

The silk starts to tighten

Chorus

Life is hard for us arachnids

Just a pest until I bite

I pull your problems to my chest

I eat your anger for my lunch

It is getting heavy now

This weight upon my shoulders

Verse 2

I weave a trap for every flying thing

They buzz

Then they stay silent in my grip

Tucking all your misery under my skin

The hunger grows until it aches

Pre-Chorus

They never asked for me

I never chose the corner

One twitch of the web

The silk starts to tighten

Chorus

Life is hard for us arachnids

Just a pest until I bite

I pull your problems to my chest

I eat your anger for my lunch

It is getting heavy now

This weight upon my shoulders

Bridge

Push me further in the dark

Keep pushing until I snap

Push me into the wall

Inject the venom out of fear

Not because I hate you

I just cannot breathe anymore

Chorus

Life is hard for us arachnids

Just a pest until I bite

I pull your problems to my chest

I eat your anger for my lunch

It is getting heavy now

This weight upon my shoulders

Post-Chorus

It is heavy

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Watch the shadow stretch across the room

I’m sinking into the drywall cracks

You see a monster in the velvet noon

But I’m just waiting for the glass to snap

One move and I am under your shoe

A stain upon the garden path

You hate the way I’m looking at you

Instead of feeling all the aftermath

Bridge 2

Don't reach out your hand to me

Unless you want the needle deep

It’s a chemical necessity

When the secrets start to creep

I’m a vessel for the things you drop

I’m a storage for the salt and bile

Wait until the spinning has to stop

It has been a long and lonely mile

Pre-Chorus

They never asked for me

I never chose the corner

One twitch of the web

The silk starts to tighten

Chorus

Life is hard for us arachnids

Just a pest until I bite

I pull your problems to my chest

I eat your anger for my lunch

It is getting heavy now

This weight upon my shoulders

Verse 4

Digesting every word you meant to say

It’s burning in my belly like a cold fire

I take the grief and carry it away

Before I pull it through the silver wire

The more I help the more I’m loathed

Wrapped up in a bitter kind of cloak

Underneath the skin I am unclothed

Waiting for the ceiling fan to spoke

Outro

I’m snapping now

Watch me bend and break

Just a little pest

Feeding on the ache

Don’t push

Don’t shove

It wasn't hate

It wasn't love

Just fear

Just a little sting

Hush now

Eight feet crawling

In the corner

Wait

Wait

Wait for the boot

Fade out

End
