Spider's Fence Lyrics

Nothing lasts forever, forever don't last long,

It is over in a heartbeat--

Over with the singin' of a love song.

Angles in the canvas try to minimize the threat,

And time's a lovely filter,

And I can still recall the fears that I felt.

Chorus: Dance your way through the spider's fence,

        And never look Medusa in the eye;

        You might call it something else,

        But no matter what you call it, it's goodbye, yeah--

        I saw the image in the mirror, didn't recognize myself,

        Severed from a childhood and it seemed like someone else,

        Picked up all the pieces, put that box back on the shelf,

        And just kept goin' on, I kept goin' on;

        Just kept goin' on, yeah yeah yeah, I kept goin' on.

I opened up that closet, and here I stand again,

Doesn't look so bad now,

And all my years of exile seem so well spent;

I thumbed through yellowed pages, the books I used to read,

Tryin' on an old suit,

And all those broken promises that would never keep.

Chorus:
