lyrics

Insects are as complex
As feeding, sex and conquest
Are we really any different?
Just with guilt and larger assets
The process through which mortals strive
To stretch beyond their tiny lives
Is equal whether human need
Or the buzzing of so many flies

Nephila, alien perfection
Solve our aimless struggle with simple death
No ritual
No kindness
No guilt
No mess
Receive their genes
Remove their heads

To never face rejection
To never fear regret
To never have to navigate the ugly, cruel politics of sex
Propagate the species
Sacrifice your head
From the jaws of mercy
Comes a bloodless death
Nephila

Repulsion and attraction
So distant in abstraction
But in the simple spider mind
Separate by fractions
Embedded in an impulse that would overthrow our selfishness
Survival of the genes is the only true success

Is it instinct that makes us preserve our lives?
Where in the best case we'll grow old enough
To see our best friend die
Before we to fall into the never after
Why linger once you've heard the devil's laughter?

To never face rejection
To never fear regret
To never have to navigate the ugly, cruel politics of sex
Propagate the species
Sacrifice your head
From the jaws of mercy
Comes a bloodless death
Nephila

We used to think that love belonged in the stars
A perfect line to god that was distinctly ours
We were wrong

Beauty has a brutal price
It causes you to never abandon your life
It never seems enough out of reach
Glamour is the death of reason

Today or tomorrow
Sickness and decay will come to those you love
They never face rejection
They never fear regret
They just make little spiders to escape the tread of death
They propagate the species
They have no politics
You will wish for jaws of mercy
You will wish for bloodless death
Nephila
