Spider's Heart

Born a regular spider,
But bad luck changed all that,
When I lost my footing and fell below,
Into a puddle of radiation,
Making me a joke of creation,
That set me apart,
But I still had a spider's heart,
My own sweet Ma abandoned me,
After I swam in toxic waste,
Because I glowed a shade of red,
And even when she said goodbye,
She couldn't even look into my eight eyes,
I wanna go right back to the start,
'Cause I still have a spider's heart,
The other kids wouldn't play with me,
Wouldn't let me join in any spider games,
Because I glowed a shade of red,
I was picked on and I was teased,
They called me ugly and diseased,
Their words still tear me apart,
'Cause I still have a spider's heart,
Yes I still have a spider's heart,
And to know it you won't have to look hard,
Yes I still have a spider's heart.

A Love

Oh I knew she was different like me,
'Cause she had four legs and fur,
And liked to lick herself clean,
We had fun so much fun,
Laughed at my attempts at spinning web,
I knew our love's ascent had just begun,
I saw something in her,
God knows what she saw in me,
And the world looked much brighter,
Than I thought it could be,
She didn't care that I glowed red,
But I did because,
Everything near to me ends up dead,
So I said,
Don't get too close to me,
Although we're having fun,
'Cause I am like the sun and I will burn you,
My skin is deadly,
Although I know that we're meant to be,
'Cause I am like the sun and I will burn you,
I wish she didn't have to go,
But I only hurt others,
And should crawl this world alone.

New Beginning

Well I said to myself,
That this home ain’t no home anymore,
And I didn’t turn around,
As I crawled under the door,
I said to myself,
That it’s time to let myself shine,
And although I’m an invertebrate,
I thought I’d grow myself a spine,
Well I knew it myself,
That the road would be tough and long,
But I had to find a better place,
Somewhere a spider like me could belong,
Oh I went one leg at a time,
An impossible mountain I would climb,
Oh I went one leg at a time,
A bright new future suited me just fine,
And though humans didn’t seem to like me,
And other animals wanted to bite me,
I dodged many a boot and step,
Hid in many a crevice and gap,
It wouldn’t stop my new beginning,
Oh I went one leg a time,
An impossible mountain I would climb,
Oh I went one leg at a time,
A bright new future suited me just fine.

All In This Together

I'd been travelling for a week,
And my legs were getting awful tired,
I knew some rest and a quiet place,
To catch some tasty flies was required,
I saw somewhere ahead,
That shone out in the lonely night,
It's sign read 'Science Lab',
And my friends that sine shone so bright,
I crawled under that door,
And prepared myself for a hell of a fight,
But I saw these bugs just standing there,
Talking and laughing together,
And to my surprise they glowed like me,
One green and one poor bastard even glowed yellow,
And it filled my heart with happiness,
That I struggle to describe to this day,
I said 'hello' and waved a leg,
And all together they began to say,
We're all in this together,
And we know just how you feel,
We all glow in the dark like you,
And our touch causes skin to peel,
We'd like you to join us,
Your journey is at an end,
'Cause we're all in this together,
And we'd be glad to call you friend,
We danced and laughed,
Me and my radioactive gang,
We shared stories of loss and pain,
And we sang,
We're all in this together,
And we know just how you feel,
We all glow in the dark like you,
And our touch causes skin to peel,
We'd like you to join us,
Your journey is at an end,
'Cause we're all in this together,
And we'd be glad to call you friend.

All The Same

Well I had the best night of my life,
I felt happy,
But all the others hid,
When the humans came in,
They tried to warn me,
But I was too late,
Oh I was blind I was stupid,
To not realise what they would do,
They wanted to learn from me,
But at my expense,
I was hurt inside and outside too,
I thought we were all the same,
I may be a spider but I still feel pain,
Like you I take shelter when it starts to rain,
I thought we were all the same,
Something snapped inside of me,
And I knew that I had to escape,
So I said ‘goodbye’ to my good company,
And did what we do best,
I ran and hid from you,
I thought we were all the same,
I may be a spider but I still feel pain,
Like you my mother gave me a name,
i thought we were all the same,
I thought we were all the same,
I may be a spider but I still feel pain,
We may have our differences it’s true,
But I thought we were all the same.

A Hero
03:07

I’d been waiting for a while and hiding,
Stewing in my pain,
I’d spent a long time brewing hate,
For those who were to blame,
I saw these people walking in,
Living so care free,
And though I knew it was a sin,
I wanted to cause them misery,
But there was this boy in glasses,
Taking pictures of my friends,
And pictures of a beautiful girl,
From whose head red hair descends,
If he’s a hero,
Then what am I?
What am I?
What am I?
I descended on the boy in glasses,
With the intention of causing hurt,
I bit into his pale hand,
And wished on him illness or worse,
Then I went back to my hiding place,
And I felt content,
It was a message to all who’d laughed at me,
And the humans I’d learned to resent,
But there was the boy who wore glasses,
On the news in a red mask,
I recognised him and all at once,
Knew I’d failed my final task,
I became filled with rage,
At the great thing I had done,
He became their hero,
But what had I become?
If he’s a hero,
Then what am I?
What am I?
What am I?
If he’s their hero,
Then what am I?
What am I?
What am I?
