After the Bee

• After the Bee

After the Bee

We're all gonna die
The world's gonna end
We've seen it before
And we're seeing it again

I wake every morn
With a weight in my chest
Oh, you should see mine
My good doctor says

But the flower is never
The same after the bee
You climb inside me
The earth it hums
Your vivid heart
My velvet warm, and the sun
Put me here to find you

We're all gonna die
I'm losing my friends
I'm a pretty bouquet
But it hurts where the stems

Those soft swaying fields
Are in all of my dreams
Where we lean out our hearts
For that song on the breeze

For the flower is never
The same after the bee
You climb inside me
The earth it hums
Your vivid heart
My velvet warm, and the sun
Put me here to find you

We're all gonna die
It's all gonna change
There's fire in the valleys
That used to bring rain

What will we be saving
When we have to take arms?
If we must be something
We must be in love

Coz the flower is never
The same after the bee
You climb inside me
The earth it hums
Your vivid heart
My velvet warm, and the sun
Put me here to find you
