lyrics

Today I killed a spider, there wasn't anybody else around
Today I killed a spider, who never ever did me any harm
Today I killed a spider, it was watching me and freaking me out
Long skinny legs, plump little body that burst like a grape
Underneath my shoe
Today I killed a spider, no second thought, a single swat,
I pushed her away
Today I killed a spider, and nothing in this world has changed

Today I killed a spider, and now I'm feeling guilty
Today I killed a spider, no better way, better safe than sorry
A man who was made lovingly from clay, then cracked in the kiln
And was broke from the day he was born, I'm torn away
(Rue the day that we stop looking for
the monsters underneath our beds
Coming up with something new to fear and then to throw away)
Today I killed a spider, and nothing in this whole damn world has changed
I will pry for answers, and find your changed up monster
I will set him loose, and use it as my excuse
There is nothing wrong with you
And now there is nothing
