Roots and Spiders Lyrics

It seems like I've been pulled up by the roots

From anywhere I ever found some shade

I struggled beneath the boots

Of a grim-faced agent of fate

With a fiery sword

But I'm growing toward something better

By leaving, leaving myself

And now I'm gone

I'm gone

And I won't be back

See the spider hatching all her eggs

Boiling water all around her legs

They all get up on her back (or whatever that's called)

The abdomen

She's so patient with all of them

Then they eat her alive

She just lets it happen

So beautiful

And now she's gone

She's gone

And she won't be back

Gone

I'm gone

And I won't be back
