lyrics

(Higher higher)
A voice is repeating
(Liar liar)
The colony’s bleeding
And I can't shake the feeling,
Am I the fed or the feeding?
(Hollow hollow)
The plead of the pleading
(Follow follow)
The breath that you're breathing
So I'll chop at the woodwork
Seems this is all I know.

The queen seems disappointed
In how the garden grows.
She’ll feed me to the hornets
If stingers start to show
But I don't know anything about anything.

But it's slightly surprising
How great we are at depriving
The webs we weave for the commonwealth,
Although they're meant to serve ourselves.
Twitching, tragic.
The rules of being erratic
They've yet to show me the bitter end.

Feed me to the hornets,
Or keep me warm.
The carbon undeserving
To make peace with a settled swarm
To be tragically adorned
So make peace with a settled swarm.

I submit to the ebb and flow
The things that move in a perfect circle
But I don't know anything about anything.

I find space where the garden grows
A safe restraint from the pheromones, but
I don't know anything about anything.

The song we sing needs a stronger sting.

I find peace in the undertow
When I admit to the microphone
I don't know anything about anything.
I don't breathe for the kings concern
What I exhale they don't deserve
I don't know anything about anything.
