[Verse 1]

I'm living but I’m feeling numb

Can see it in my stare

I wear a mask so falsely now

And I don't know who I am

This void, the world's inside of me

And they won’t let me away

I've noticed in other eyes

Time's closing in


[Chorus]

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula, tarantula, tarantula


[Verse 2]

The future's looking rather grim

Strange black tide

Decisions lie with stupid men

Along with my life

They're choking and they're hyping me

Expecting me to fall

But only if I'm threatened

Will the tables turn


[Chorus]

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula, tarantula, tarantula


[Bridge]

My world is under a sentence of death

I was born under clouds

But when the pressure gets too much for me

I bite


[Chorus]

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula, tarantula, tarantula
