Lyrics
(He said) "The spider plant on the sill of the Frayser window
Needs a new pot, a bigger place to grow."
(She said) "Just give it more light. Stop looking for shadows."

A quiet house, pretending not to hear
The silence that's waiting on the other side?
Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide.

[Outro]
That spider plant...
Another split root.
