My Oldest Friend

about

Song 198!

lyrics

Spiders in my brain, spinning webs of blame
Playing all the games, fighting thought with flames

In a trance I tilt my head trying not to breathe
In this dance locked in step it's easier to see
A circumstance I can't avoid, unwrapped inside me
A veiled romance like fireflies hanging in the trees

Matches under my skin, tell me where I've been
A light burn meant to cleanse, the pain is my oldest friend

I choke wide awake in neon scattered bliss
I awoke in a state like a sparkle colored kiss
I broke every faith I pretended to miss
I stoke the flames inside waiting for the hiss

Truth lies under my tongue, Quieting the bells I've rung
Baking under the sun, faking when I'm on the run

There's no path from ignorance to set us free
There's no choice to follow through in our need

Spiders in my brain, spinning webs of blame
A light burn meant to cleanse, the pain is my oldest friend

There's no path from ignorance to set us free
There's no choice to follow through in our need
