Spider Bite
Location
Little baby boy crawled and crawled about
Innocent to the world and without any doubts
Then came the spider that bit until you bled
Baby boy, you must know this isn’t the end
There’s more pain to come in your young life
A broken heart is sharper than a knife
One ‘itsy bitsy’ spider bite is just the beginning
And there is no way to win; there's no overcoming
Come with me so I can show you your world
The life you have now will be thrown in a swirl
Daddy will lose his job; Mommy will take on more
They’ll try to work together, but not after you’re four
Mommy will give up and leave the both of you
Daddy becomes a heavy drinker; beating you like a shrew
You have to walk into the streets to find your food and shelter
Mommy breaks her promise; things aren’t getting any better
Years passed and it’s the same old routine
Until Daddy met his second beautiful queen
Things are changing and you’re his best man
You have to act like you’re his biggest fan
Once he’s married everything’s different
He cheers on for your achievements
He cleaned up his act and no longer drinks
“It’s all over,” at least that’s what you think
Only a year goes by and they have a daughter
His second chance and he’s never been a better father
But you become completely transparent
And you’re wishing she wouldn’t be so apparent
She looks up to you as she grows older
You shove her to the side and resent her
She loves you so much and all you have is hatred
Praying and praying that no one ever made these changes
You regret those prayers the day of the accident
Your father’s heart was torn by his love so passionate
It’s not your fault; but that’s who you blame
She’s gone now and so is her unbelievable fame
Your dad is really trying
Step mom is constantly crying
You ignore your mom and argue with Dad
I think it's now you start to go mad
Two years later you are committed to a hospital
Patients all over the place that have really gone mental
Dad visits you every other day he can to show you he cares
But the guilt that lies within you and his judgment you couldn’t bare
Only thing keeping you from taking it all away
Is the hope that one day it will all be okay
Your arm stills has that scar from the past
But the spider bite didn’t hurt this bad
