Cricket in the corner, tell me, what do you see?
Beady little eyes staring back at me
Cricket, tell me, what do you know?
A thousand years of summer, have you ever seen snow?
Cricket in the corner, tell me, where have you been?
Cricket, do you even know the meaning of sin?
How many dead bodies can one house hold
With flies between the windows and a mouse beneath the floors?
ย
Spider on the ceiling, tell me, what do you do?
You don't bother me and I won't bother you
How many legs does a creature need
Before it starts to count as just another weed
In the garden of man with a rose in your hand
And the roots of a dandelion pulled from the land, from the land
Plants gathering dust on my window sill
I water every day but I'm sure I'll kill them somehow, somehow
ย
Moth climbing on to the lamp on my desk
Making her way to a certain death
Trapped between the glass and the fabric of my shade
Icarus has never been so well portrayed
With the moon as her witness she navigates
Through the tangles of time, her true love awaits
In the silence of midnight her wings softly hum
Beneath the velvet sky, the world seems to succumb
ย
In the stillness of night whispers linger in the air
As if the universe itself has secrets it wants to share
The stars shimmer with tales untold
Like where the cricket goes to sleep
And how many bodies this house holds
ย
Cricket in the corner, tell me, where do you rest?
With beady little eyes that hold the past
You've seen centuries of summer's glow
You bear witness to life's ebb and flow
A silent observer of tales untold
Mr. Spider, you weave a tapestry of stories old
And a pretty little Icarus flying for the light
In a tragic ballet of longing and life
