[Intro – rain, distant thunder, slow waltz piano] (quiet, reflective) Funny thing about lonely roads… they still lead somewhere… --- [Verse 1 – soft, vivid storytelling] I walked for miles through the rain that day flowers hanging at my side cars flew past like frightened ghosts while muddy water kissed my stride I already knew before I left most wouldn’t stop for me six foot three with tattooed skin looks different through their fear, I guess, than through my own eyes see --- [Pre-Chorus – restrained ache] And maybe they told themselves a story so they wouldn’t have to care… --- [Chorus – emotional lift] So spin, Black Widow Waltz through the dark and through the cold Dance with every empty silence until loneliness grows old You are not abandoned here just walking where the strong survive And every storm that leaves you soaked still proves you stayed alive --- [Verse 2 – more intimate, reflective] There’s an RV humming softly now quiet lights and tired bones and sometimes when the night gets still I feel the weight of being alone But solitude’s a strange old thing it sharpens what remains teaches you the difference between true love and passing names --- [Pre-Chorus – wisdom forming] Because when you stop fearing your own company… the world loses its grip on your worth… --- [Chorus – fuller, warmer] So spin, Black Widow Waltz make peace with empty space Learn the rhythm of your heartbeat without needing someone’s gaze And when good souls finally find you you’ll know them strand by strand Not because you feared the dark… but because you learned to stand --- [Bridge – stripped down, deeply personal] (soft, nearly spoken) I remember being a father… two little spiders looking up at me… and even when life was hardest… love still made the web worth weaving… (beat slowly rises) So no… I won’t let the dark decide the dance… I lead now… --- [Final Chorus – cathartic but grounded] Spin, Black Widow Waltz through the aching and the rain Every lonely road behind you was not walked in vain You are not the fear they painted not the shadow passing by You’re the spider still ascending even soaked beneath the sky --- [Outro – rain fades, gentle resolve] (soft breath, distant thunder fading) Lonely… is not forever… sometimes… it’s just where the web begins again…
