Fish - The Web Lyrics
The rain auditions at my window, its symphony echoes in my wombMy gaze scans the walls of this apartment to rectify the confines of my tombIm the cyclops in the tenement, Im the soul without the cause,Crying midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors,Clippings from ancient newspapers lie scattered cross the floorStained by the wine from a shattered glass,Meaningless words, yellowed by time,Faded photos exposing pain, celluloid leeches bleeding my mindChrist, youve finished playing hangman, youve cast the fateful diceAdvice, advice, advice me, this shroud will not sufficeAnd thus begins the webAttempting to discard these clinging memories,I only serve to wallow in our pastI fabricate the weave with my excuses,Its strands I hope and pray shall lastOh please do last, oh please do lastThe flytrap needs the insects, ivy caresses the wallNeedles make love to the junkies, the sirens seduce with their callConfidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken meConfused and rejected, despised and alone,I kiss isolation on its fevered browSecurity clutching me, obscurity threatening meChrist, your reasons were so obvious as my friend have qualifiedI only laughed away your tears, but even jesters cry, but even jesters cryI realise I hold the key to freedom,Oh I cannot let my life be ruled by threadsThe time has come to make decisions, the changes have to be madeI realise I hold the key to freedom,I cannot let my life be ruled by threadsThe time has come to make decisions, the changes have to be madeNow I leave you, the past does have its sayYoure all but forgotten a mote in my heartDecisions have been made, theyve been made, theyve been madeDecisions have been madeIve conquered my fears, all my fearsThe flaming shroud, the flaming shroudThus ends the web, the web, the web, the web, the web.
