Arachnid pest

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 now

Heavy now

Hush now

Just a pest

Verse 3

I am looking through the glass you use to hunt me

Curled up small inside the crack

You call it random when I strike the hand

But you are the ones who turned the lights out

And left me in the sink to drown

So I climbed back up the pipe

Verse 4

I take the things you say you cannot handle

Wrap them up in thick white cord

Sucking out the poison while I am shaking

Until my belly is a house of lead

And you wonder why I walk so slow

Dragging all your baggage across the floor

Bridge 2

Stomp if it makes you feel safe

Crush the shell against the tile

But the stain will never wash away

A shadow with eight legs remains

Underneath the bed you sleep in

Waiting for the next push to come

Guitar Solo

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

Drop

Spider

Small and sinking

Arachnid

Fear is a trigger

Arachnid

I am breaking

Spider

Verse 5

You see a monster in the doorway

I see a girl who cannot find the exit

One move too close and the fang comes out

Pure reflex from a nervous wreck

Call it malice if it helps you sleep

While I sit here with my shoulders bowed

Outro

Just a little thing

Running from the shoe

Everything is big

Everything is sharp

I did not want to sting you

I was just scared of the light

Hush now

Eight feet crawling

Heavy

So heavy

Hush

(Hush)

(Hush)
