all these plants and leaves
will they feed the spider?
all these bones and teeth
will they feed the spider?
i woke up in blind man's lake
a southern scarlet water snake
slid on out, looked up to see
but there was nothing left of me
oh no, i couldn't go home
as the air escapes
hands feel ever lighter
rise above the fumes
sun is ever brighter
cut her up and crawl inside
can we live inside her?
i woke up in blind man's lake
a southern scarlet water snake
slid on out, looked up to see
but there was nothing left of me
oh no, i couldn't go home
all these plants and leaves
will they feed the spider?
all these bones and teeth
will they feed the spider?
i know it's true, and so do you
that no one's coming here to claim you
this foul exchange became so strange
the weirdest part is, no one blames you
everybody knows, we can't stop the leak
we can't kill the spider
everybody goes, all these plants and leaves
will not kill the spider
everybody knows, we can't stop the leak
we can't kill the spider
everybody goes, all these plants and leaves
will not kill the spider
everybody goes.
