lyrics

Watch as I burn the midnight oil, tossing and turning with every step without a second's thought, solving complex problems and memorizing long patterns inside my mind. I know that I am doomed. Destruction was imminent from the very start. When you destroy something you are sacrificing its total value for something far better than what it used to be. Many have tried and it had brought them nothing but good fortune. Not me, I'm just a lonely kid waiting for his turn to leave the nest. Above me is the ceiling made of asbestos and the popcorn patterns that I've become so familiar with. There are cobwebs forming. They were made by a huge horde of spiders crawling across it. I wouldn't destroy them, that would be cruelty, and I would get nothing out of it. I want them to live with me. I want them to be my new family. I want to pray with them at the dinner table every night, thanking them for what they've done to me, and how I can continue living. I want them to make my bed my burrow. I thread floss through my nose and out my mouth so that they have something to suck on, especially the babies. I hope these spiders continue to make me an abode, so that I can escape this dreaded reality and enter the fantasy I have always wished for. I know it won't be easy, but I assure you it will be worth it.

So what are you supposed to do when your daily bread goes stale?
