Beekeeper

We had to shed our skin
As quickly as we could
We met in dusty bedrooms
To pass the rites we should

Liz bouncing made me flush
Then vodka made me pale
I slouched and fell to silence
I tried to smile but failed
I tried to smile but failed
My tongue was in the way

Anna took my outside
Put me in the grass
Told me to look upwards
And I knew right then I didn’t know a thing
Yeah, I knew right then I didn’t know a thing

You, you see it
You, you see it

Neighbours in all directions
Neighbours with shared conceptions
