% Verse 1:
Em Dsus4 C G | Am7 E7 D B7 | Em D Cmaj7 Gadd9 | Am7 Em B7 Em
1. When we tear down another’s worth, / It’s our own weakness we unearth. / Appeals to man, disdain for God, / A hollow path, a shallow fraud.

|: Am7 E7 D/F# B7 :|
 
% Verse 2:
What’s valuable in me, I know, / Is not from self, but grace bestowed. / If my hands build, it’s not my own, / But proof of seeds another’s sown.
 
% Chorus:
Am7 Gmaj7 D/F# Em | Fmaj7 E7 Am D | C G/B Am7 Dsus4 | Gadd9 F#m7b5 B7 Em
The spider spins its fragile thread, / From silken lies the fly has said. / Each word a snare, each thought confined, / A tangled trap of prideful mind.

% Verse 3:
The fly drifts toward decay, unwise, / Its words a beacon for demise. / The spider, stubborn, clings to lies, / And in its web, it too will die.
 
% Bridge:
Cmaj7 Gadd9 Dsus4 Em | Am7 E7 D/F# B7 | Em D C G | Am7 Em B7 Em
Believe in good, though eyes may fail, / For what we see is just the veil. / The unseen shapes what will prevail, / Truth is the wind that fills the sail.

% Reprise:
Cmaj7 Gadd9 D Em | Am7 E7 B7 Em | Cmaj7 Gadd9 Dsus4 Em | Am7 D7 Gadd9 Em
If life were worthless, it wouldn’t rise, / Nor stars be born to light the skies. / But choice exists, and so does blame, / And truth remains a steady flame.

% Outro:
Em Dsus4 Cmaj7 Gadd9 | Am7 E7 D/F# B7 | Am7 E7 Dsus4 Em | Cmaj7 Gadd9 D/F# Em
May our words not seek decay, / Nor prideful webs to lead astray. / Let truth reshape, let wisdom guide, / Beyond the traps of foolish pride.
