about

This song samples "Rock My Boat (Featuring Mia Doi Todd)" by Dntel.

lyrics

we climbed to the mountain top
to see the man on the moon and the stars fall
in the winter before it all
the songs were planted deep in our souls
and the seasons change
in the world on the living
and that summer bore the fruit
that would make life worth living
but winter lingers on
in the dusty green glass in the windows of the pawn shops
and I'd try to dust it off
but the dim fog and candlelight
are powers beyond my might
I sing abalone and sunshine
but clouds are gaining
and the fields in the west are gonna have a hard time
but we sowed in the summer heat
and we prayed for rain through sweat and dirt in the humidity
the the glass spider saw it all
like a fogged mirror of what's to come
as we cleaned out that broken down shed
weapons haunted by the lives their ammunition took
and the glass spider shows it all
like a thousand mirrors in a hall
so we smoked in the desert air till it blocked out the sun
telling tales of wars already won
and it's true what they say as your life moves on
that it all comes back to a single one
to the glass spider in the shed
to the glass spider in the shed
to the glass spider in my head
