I was young,
Only about nine,
When I saw the creature the first time
I felt its touch,
It poisoned my mind,
But somehow seemed so sublime.
It’s getting way too
Hard for me to
Keep it down, I’ve got to tell you
How it feels to
Be a week full,
And everyday be hungry for more.
I walked the line straight in my head,
But off the ledge I slipped and fell.
Could someone tell me where I am?
Is this a PG-rated hell?
The silk around my waist
restricts my limbs, constricts my blood flow, now.
God let me down.
As I hang here,
I stare into the sky.
In this web I make my goodbyes.
I don’t think I
Will make it out alive.
Can no one hear my cries?
It’s getting way too
Hard for me to
Keep it down, I’ve got to tell you
How it feels to
Be a weak fool,
And everyday be hungry for more.
I walked the line straight in my head,
But off the ledge I slipped and fell.
Could someone tell me where I am?
Is this a PG-rated hell?
The silk around my waist
restricts my limbs, constricts my blood flow, now.
God, let me down from here,
where I’m trembling with fear.
I know that You will not let me down.
And so, I close my eyes
In faith, and hope from this web
That I shall be saved,
And awake on solid ground.
Because here,
In the depths of the wood,
Where nothing is sacred
And love succumbs to hatred,
Nothing is good.
I hear,
From the depths of the wood,
A sound that is coming,
Footsteps, they are running
To the ground where I stood.
I saw the bright lights up ahead,
But on your back it’s hard to see.
I’m tired of this life that I have led,
Full of inconsistency.
The binds around my chest
Are breaking now,
And I can finally breathe.
