My limbs are moving sideways, up, and down

I feel the creepy creatures crawling all around

They’re on my bed and on my body, in my veins

What would I do if they could take control of me?

Ah-ha!

I saw a beetle crawl across the floor below me

I watched it tumble, wobble, traveling slow, but surely

It wandered underneath a chair and suddenly

A spider came and took it in its web

I watched it struggle, wriggle, helpless, horrifying

That was my first experience watching life and dying

The spider lifted itsеlf up from behind the chair

I sat therе, felt a part of my body dying

Mama, you said I was gonna be okay

If you knew the truth, then why did you lie anyway?

You said you’d heal me without a remedy

So, Mama, tell me

How the hell you’re gonna fix me

Stuck in the silence of a room I hear a distant humming

The static slowly wanders in as if it’s wanting something

A little cricket staring monsters in the face

I’d rather try and run away

Than let myself become this eight-legged fate

Arachnid, not exactly

Something from this reality

A mistake comes in shapes of

Jagged tendrils on my body

I shiver, ripple, fidget

Move, immobile, underneath me

Little tiny needles in my skin

With which they’re taking from me

The night is quiet enough

The perfect moment to strike

I see it moving in the dark

In the corner of my eye

During this unpleasant eve

It seems I’m fighting alone

How many battles like these

Will I have to undergo?

Everything’s crashing down and I can’t fight against it

The thoughts inside my mind are growing more sick and twisted

The walls are suffocating, crushing me, crying

Suddenly, I’m writhing

Helpless and horrifying

Mama, you said I was gonna be okay

If there was no truth, did you even lie anyway?

You said you’d heal me without a remedy

So now I’m begging you to

Hurry up and fix me

Heebie jeebies creepy crawlies

Body twitching, screaming, pleading

Shaking, shiver, dither, jitter

Breathing through the tracheae

Calm composure, self possession

Soft and subtle disposition

Head and thorax, abdomen and

In and out the tracheae

Palpitating, abnegating

Clandestinely, tranquility

Incandescent, iridescent

Swallowing the tracheae

Heebie jeebies, creepy crawlies

Body twitching, screaming, pleading

In and out and in and out

Devouring the tracheae

Breathing through my lungs

You’ll find my words are hyperventilating

In and out and in and out

They promised I would be okay

Passing through my veins

I feel my way of oxygen is failing

In and out and in and out and

Mama, will I be okay?

My lungs are open

And contracting up and down and sideways

In and out and in and out and

Are you even listening?

Heebie jeebies crawl around me

Blue is oozing from my body

In and out and in and out and

In and out and in and out and

A fire starts inside my soul

It’s burning me to ashes

I’m sick and tired of

Waiting for something good to happen

The walls are closing in around me

I won’t make it out alive

If I keep waiting for a cure

That makes me want to survive

Is this rebirth, or has this monster always been inside me?

There’s beetles crawling over me, and I look petrifying

A giant spider with a cricket for a face

Oh, you can try and run away but

You and I know that you just can’t escape

(What would I do once they could take control of me?

Ah-ha!)
