Eight Legged Monster

Bridge

Eight legs tap on the ceiling wood

Silk in the corner where the shadows stood

I built my kingdom in the space you forgot

Thread by thread, I take what I got

Verse 3

They call me menace, call me demon in the night

But I'm just weaving circles in the pale moonlight

Got my web hung high where the rafters bend

I don't want your trouble, I don't want your end

Hiding under the bed when the lamps go low

In the closet dark where the dust winds blow

Attic steps creak, I stay in my place

Small heart drumming in a tiny space

Pre-Chorus

Don't you see the silk shining, catching rays of gold

I was here before your stories ever got told

Step around my corner, let me be

All I ever wanted was the quiet and the flee

Chorus

Neoscona, spinning in the shade

Eight-eyed hunter, never made to fade

Don't crush what you don't understand

I'm just a thread in the master's hand

Neoscona, I don't want no war

Just leave my corner, leave my door

I'll mend your web and I'll mend my soul

Neoscona, let me play my role

Post-Chorus

(Turn away, turn away)

(Turn away, turn away)

(Far, far, far)

(Far from me)

Verse 4

Striped legs like a warning sign

I weave my lattice, I weave it fine

Orb in the window where the morning bleeds

I catch the flies, I plant the seeds

Don't mean no harm in my hollow chest

Just a predator doing what is best

If a giant steps where my threads are strung

I'll scatter like a shadow, quick and young

Pre-Chorus

The moonlight hits my silver line

I dance between the beams and time

So leave me in the corners, cold and dark

I'll keep your nightmares from making their mark

Chorus

Neoscona, spinning in the shade

Eight-eyed hunter, never made to fade

Don't crush what you don't understand

I'm just a thread in the master's hand

Neoscona, I don't want no war

Just leave my corner, leave my door

I'll mend your web and I'll mend my soul

Neoscona, let me play my role

Post-Chorus

(Turn away, turn away)

(Turn away, turn away)

(Far, far, far)

(Far from me)

Outro

Eight legs moving silent through the night

A tiny architect in fading light

Don't fear the spinner, don't fear the thread

I'm just alive, I'm just being fed

Neoscona

(Neoscona)

Neoscona

(Neoscona)

Let me be

(Let me be)

Let me be

(Let me be)
