Spiders all around me, Crawling everywhere. Spiders all above me, Hanging in the air. Worms are in my body, Killing me from inside. Worms are biting at my flesh, Eating me alive. Nobody’s there to save me. They can’t see a thing. I don’t want help from Nobody. Nobody lies within. Trembling and scratching, With spiders in my hair. The worms have finished eating. Only the bones are left here. Now my ghost remains Outside my hollowed husk. But I no longer tremble. The day has turned to dusk. At night Nobody’s there again, This time a welcome guest. They come to claim what Nobody deserves. Indeed, I’ve lost their bet. I am calm through the night, With Nobody there to hold me. With dawn, my world repeats, again, The same unrelenting story: Spiders, Worms, Nobody, Nobody Spiders, Worms, Nobody, Nobody Spiders, Worms, Nobody, Nobody Spiders, Worms, Nobody, Nobody What if, One evening I left this world At the same time my soul left my body? Who would be there to say goodbye? Spiders? Worms? Nobody? Nobody.

Polyphemus
Spiders all around me, Crawling everywhere. Spiders all above me, Hanging in the air. Worms are in my body, Killing me from inside. Worms are biting at my flesh, Eating me alive. Nobody’s there to save me. They can’t see a thing. I don’t want help from Nobody. Nobody lies within. Trembling and scratching, With spiders in my hair. The worms have finished eating. Only the bones are left here. Now my ghost remains Outside my hollowed husk. But I no longer tremble. The day has turned to dusk. At night Nobody’s there again, This time a welcome guest. They come to claim what Nobody deserves. Indeed, I’ve lost their bet. I am calm through the night, With Nobody there to hold me. With dawn, my world repeats, again, The same unrelenting story: Spiders, Worms, Nobody, Nobody Spiders, Worms, Nobody, Nobody Spiders, Worms, Nobody, Nobody Spiders, Worms, Nobody, Nobody What if, One evening I left this world At the same time my soul left my body? Who would be there to say goodbye? Spiders? Worms? Nobody? Nobody.
