lyrics

what's the use of thinking about anything at all
if when you turn around there's a spider on the wall
saying I am the only true one and I cannot be denied
out of refuse you've made barriers behind which you try to hide
all the things deep inside you that will never have a name
and the ones all around you of which you are the same

what's the use of having eyes with which to see
if you're gonna listen to the ones who don't believe
oh they say that your weakness will overcome your love
and they say that you're dreaming but that soon you will wake up
but I say you're alive as you're ever gonna be
and if you don't believe me, you just wait and see

what's all the fuss?
where are the meek and the weary and when will they rise up?
when will they rise up?

here I sit beneath this bridge as the freeway roars above
and I can feel the poison as it seeps into my lungs
well I tell you I ain't been here long but I think I've had enough
of smoothing out my clothes when I inside I still feel rough
and the only solace that we have is an understanding touch
and if you tell me what you believe then I will take your hand
'cause here you are and here I am and none of this was planned

what's the use of trying to change anything at all
if when you turn around there's that spider on the wall
saying you are the devil's plaything and you haven't got a chance
oh you think you are so erudite but you're here by happenstance
and just like the snakes and the birds of prey you were put upon this earth
pain will test you, love will break you and time will tell your worth
