Black Widow

Shadow of my hand
A terrifying sight dancing in the sun shining on my carpet
The little bend and twists of horrible contortions writhing in my fingers
They try hard to escape the cursed lines of my palms

I've been locked up in this room for so long
I don't know if it's day or night, but I long to be free again
Go back to the way things once were
I've been hiding from all of the danger
It's not safe outside, no, I can't go out there
Can't go out anymore

I walk on stringy legs with a scarlet letter on my back
It makes me shutter, it's so grotesque
I broke the mirrors because I can't trust them no more
Or maybe the image is only in my head
Unzip my skin and it's as soft as baby human
Crack the exoskeleton and you'll find I'm flesh and bone
But I built these four walls to protect me from the world
Or maybe, it's the other way around

(Black widow) that's not my name
(Black widow) hey sir, that's not my name
(Black widow) hey sis, don't call me that
Black widow, black widow, black widow
I ain't no- (black widow, bad omen)
Oh, I ain't done nothing wrong to you (black widow)
That's not my name (ah, ah, ah)
You want me to stay away? (Ah, ah, ah)
Okay, okay, have it your way
I guess I am, black widow (black widow, black widow)
(Black Widow killed MJ and Prince)
The shadow of my hand is terrifying (ah)
Moving in slow motion in the sun (ah)
My crime is existence, so I've kept my distance (ah)
Away, so far away from everyone (ah)

(Black widow) how dare you say that
(Black widow) that's not my name
(Black widow) have you no heart?
(Black widow) okay, okay
Maybe it's true, maybe it's true
Don't get too close, I'm bad juju
I'm cursed 'cause I've been bitten
I'm black and I'm forbidden (mm)
(Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm)
