Matthew

I’m the white spider of death
I crawl through your veins
Spinning thoughts through your head
And I won’t stop until you have nothing to live for

You hide me right under your sleeve
Because no one can know that you’re carrying me
You walk alone, you walk alone

It’s been a year and a half since I came
But my legs still find a way
To burrow straight through your shame
And I won’t stop because you still have something to live for

And you wonder how long until you break
And you wish that your friends
Could have seen your mistakes
But you’re alone, you’re alone

You’re not alone

You’ve been gone for more than a year
And I watch as a grown man
Tries to swallow his tears
But he can’t stop, because you gave him something to live for

He wonders what he should have said
The night that he spent
At your hospital bed
“You’re not alone, no, you’re not alone”
