Quotable Lyrics:
I move like a moth or a butterfly
Craving a change in the wind
I swirl by all the insects and all the flies
Watching the cycle they’re in
Better off dead than wastin’ my hours
Flying where I shouldn’t be
Flexing like pricks with their stolen power
They’re just who the spider will eat
