lyrics
A spider
Sealed within a jar
No air
No sound
Just carved glass
Distorting his view
Waiting for the master
To release him
To release the master's
Only subject
(Opened is the lid and taken is the spider)
The spider worries
For the master is tense again
So as he is trained
The spider crawls into his mouth
Unable to see
But able to hear
The spider detects the other voice
It says,
"Explain."
The master's tongue rises
So as he is trained
The spider crawls out
And the master says,
"My lips are like stone… cracking with every smile."
The spider crawls back into his mouth
Peering from his master's mouth
He watches the owner of the other voice…
Leave
(Doctor reason)
So waits
The dedicated spider
The spider is always loyal to the master
Though the spider gets depressed
For he knows
One day
The master will terminate his kingdom
The kingdom of one subject…
The spider
Soon the other voice returns
But with many others
So as he is trained
The spider crawls into his master's nose
There he sits
He does not try to understand the voices
But he knows his master tries
His master always tries
An effort which gives him hope
Hope that his master will soon find home
One by one
The voices exit the room
Remaining with only one
Which says,
"You may go."
The last voice leaves the room
Not knowing what was said
The spider crawls back
Into his master's mouth
(Where he is taken and returned to his cell)
A spider
Sealed within a jar
No air
No sound
Just carved glass
Distorting his view
Waiting for the master
To release him
To release the master's
Only subject
(Opened is the lid and taken is the spider)
But the master sets him down
And slowly walks away
Knowing that his master is finally going home
The spider crawls away.
Sealed within a jar
No air
No sound
Just carved glass
Distorting his view
Waiting for the master
To release him
To release the master's
Only subject
(Opened is the lid and taken is the spider)
The spider worries
For the master is tense again
So as he is trained
The spider crawls into his mouth
Unable to see
But able to hear
The spider detects the other voice
It says,
"Explain."
The master's tongue rises
So as he is trained
The spider crawls out
And the master says,
"My lips are like stone… cracking with every smile."
The spider crawls back into his mouth
Peering from his master's mouth
He watches the owner of the other voice…
Leave
(Doctor reason)
So waits
The dedicated spider
The spider is always loyal to the master
Though the spider gets depressed
For he knows
One day
The master will terminate his kingdom
The kingdom of one subject…
The spider
Soon the other voice returns
But with many others
So as he is trained
The spider crawls into his master's nose

Hope that his master will soon find home

The spider crawls away.
