I'm living but I'm feeling numb

Can see it in my stare

I wear a mask so falsely numb

And I don't know who I am

Despite the worlds inside of me

Thwarting me away

I've noticed in other eyes

Time's closing in

But when the thunder breaks

It breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula

Tarantula, tarantula

The future's looking rather grim

Strange black tide

Decisions lie with stupid men

Alone with my life

That choking and the hype in me

Expecting me to fall

But only if I'm threatened will the tables turn

But when the thunder breaks

It breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula

Tarantula, tarantula

My world's under a sentence of death

I was born underground

But when the pressure gets too much for me, I bite
