You grow and grow and grow Stretch across the floor Got your hands on everything Leave a light on so I can see How you bend and fold Rising to oppose Meet a brand new web of lies See it’s ever widening size A cover for the hole But then you rip it off Cut it clean Seeking imperfection Cut it cut it Don’t wanna dig it up It’d mean Spreading this infection Never name, no attention You were the one I fear and believe in But time takes its toll The poetry and prose Familiar overtone Slip the hour of subtlety Leave a light on so I can sleep We love to hold you close We skip you like a stone A ripple lost in thought debris With a spectrum that I can’t reach A colour of the whole But then you rip it off Cut it clean Seeking imperfection Cut it cut it Don’t wanna dig it up It’d mean Spreading this infection Never name, no attention You were the one I fear and believe in But time takes its toll You would tell me what I don’t believe You would feed me what I couldn’t eat Try to take away what I’m gonna need When the darkness Would hide all but the faintest glow Try to read by the light of the moon Pump the blood in the veins of the shape of fear The stuff of nightmares have a perishable hold As a narrative unfolds under shadows We made For the next new enterprise Meet a brand new web of lies You were sold on my disguise But then you rip it off Cut it clean Seeking imperfection Cut it cut it Don’t wanna dig it up It’d mean Spreading this infection Never name, no attention You were the one I fear and believe in But time takes its toll
