The spider
May, 16, 2001
I'm no longer scared of the spider.
I'm afraid of their stare.
I've learned to uncover my long legs,
I've learned to build my web,
I've become friend with my silence,
I've become used to the wait.
I can stay for hours still now,
And a little feed me for long.
But their stare appeared.
They laugh and play happy to be
But stop and come cold
When their eyes meet me.
I do nothing but showing up,
I don't mean any harm
But they scream or hide away.
Oh, yeah, some try to smash me.
But I'm not of that kind,
I'm not one you can crash.
I've come all that way,
I had never been so far,
I crossed the frontier.
I uncovered my long dark legs
And I've built my web.
Silence became my faithful friend
And the wait feels good now.
You can't smash those of my kind.
You can hide and stare afraid,
I'll come used to it too
'Cause I'm no longer scared of the spider now.
Yeah, I've come all that way
And I crossed the final frontier.
Beyond there's nothing you can do,
There's nothing left of me to smash.
You can throw things at me,
They won't find me.
You can try to get me with your broom,
My legs are gone before it hits
Because I've learned to move.
You see me here, it's where you kick
But I'm already gone.
I've learned the speed of the shadow,
I've come able to make disappear
What you find of me.
And what you saw doesn't exist anymore :
I moved to some place else, I'm something else.
Maybe I'm nothing but eight legs and a web now,
Nothing but a strange thing to be scared of.
Maybe you'll never find in you a place to let me be,
Maybe you'll never find some place for my web
Because you're afraid of the spider,
The spider in you.
Maybe I'm nothing but eight legs and a web,
Maybe I'm only here to scare you
Until you find a place for the spider,
The spider in you.
