Tarantula [mp3]

By ~pianogirl~

You are a crawling thing
You don’t think
Or feel a thing
You are a grasping hand
A creeping man
You’re out of hand

I don’t need you
Don’t believe you
I can’t stand it
The touch on my shoulder
When you inch closer
When you lean over
Dry as a branch
You are just a tarantula

You’re a corrosive thing
The way you seep beneath my skin
You are a spreading stain
An evil eye
A poison pen

Don’t you hear me
Don’t come near me
I don’t fear you
But you’re a disease to me
Don’t come closer
Don’t lean over
Strong as a stench
You are just a tarantula

I don’t need you
Don’t believe you
I can’t stand it
The touch on my shoulder
When you inch closer
When you lean over
Dry as a branch
You are just a tarantula

Over my shoulder
Tarantula
Over my shoulder
Tarantula
