Tarantula

Faithless

Down in the shadows of your deepest secrets

I sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear

Your heart is in my province jour upon hour

I shiver when you feel the cold,

Everything you say I hear

Like a bomb and its fuse,

We bring bright light

But I could be a devil to you

I could bite like a tarantula

Right through the skin

And leave my poison dripping (dream)

Deliciously Unsuspecting

Protecting you from all harm

Except perhaps from reasoning (these arms)

That hold you
