Spider Webs

Lying here in the dark

This time the phone won’t ring

It may ring, but not again

My heart wide open, I say no more



Playful introductions, she’s already taken

What would happen, you’re just too old

She’s flirting now, what to do?

Don’t be stupid; she’ll destroy what’s left



Soulful talks, too good to be real

Intelligent charms, she’s weaving a web

Damn I’m here again, run quickly

Too late, I’ve been bit, paralyzed



Halloween festivities, simple temptations

Don’t be good, she’s so vulnerable

Damn my values, I hate myself

Slip away into the night



It’s getting worse, she’s reeling me in

Powerless, I can’t resist

She’s everywhere, I can’t escape

Run away, too late again



Loud concerts and things so grand

More long talks as the sun comes up

Simple flirtations, not so simple anymore

Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly



Thanksgiving movies, con the parents

Little did I know, it’s the reverse

So desperate, so futile

I must seem so pathetic



Another tug on the web strings

Look our daughter has learnt well

Don’t kill your prey, slowly drain it

Add it to your legion of undead



Trips to that happy place with her best victim

Calls when the others have long been asleep

Need to keep this one on a short leash

He rejuvenates faster than the others



This life force has endless reserves

Keeping him sedate is dangerous

Should I kill him before he kills me?

Can I handle his power?



He plays the puppet so well

So obedient, so respectful

I pity his loyalty, his stupid values

They are so simple, laugh at them



Another hunter after my prey

Go to her, you’ll be back

Look here, I have what you want

Go astray again and I’ll end you



Oh farmboy, give me a kiss

You are man, I am woman

I am everything you want

To resist me is to resist being



Nectar so sweet, soft as silk

Hold me, touch me

Stolen time together

Carnal sins after dark



Now completely powerless

Drained of all that I valued

Dreams destroyed

Reset the clock, back to loneliness



Alone again, empty soul

Why am I here?

Please let me sleep

I hate this place, but I deserve it
