lyrics
The winter scar, the stone walls receding with the rise and fall of your lungs as you're dreaming of the way that she moves in and out of light so right.
But it's the drawn-together life and the pressure of the movement that we're muted by, so we're searching for the words as if they're fireflies lighting up the road ahead.
Oh, will we ever get out of this
Busy life with no clear direction?
Oh, it just seems like we're kind of out of it,
Busy little bees with no connection,
Busy little bees with no connection.
There's a sign ahead, it tells us not to move so we just stay in bed, humming all the tunes that seem to say it best, "there is nothing here but the now".
But it's the way your lips are dropping out the words before you think of it, makes me see the beauty in not knowing if the fog will turn its back on us.
Oh, will we ever get out of this
Busy life with no clear direction?
Oh, it just seems like we're kind of out of it,
Busy little bees with no connection,
Busy little bees with no connection.
Will we, will we ever get past this?
