Be

If I didn't know better
I'd say that the world turned
Just as fast as I could mend all the bridges that I burn
Mother told me it would be like this
And that the fairy-tale had been spun
When you live with bees you're bound to get stung

When I can't shut my mind because I've got to make that call
To save all my old girlfriends and those I don't recall
From all collective sadness and memories of me
And show them I am genuine and that I am not a bee

BE, BE just BE

It's always nice to be the leader
And even nicer to have space
On the cosmic side of logic
Someone told me there is a place
Where there's a synthesis of nature
And fearless people who believe
That there's a safe place in the hornets nest
Of which too few of us conceive

BE, BE just BE
BE me, just BE me

In the absence of the chaos, a space of silence fills the room
And I realize that when I run this race
It's just myself that I consume
When all your arbitrary concepts fade
Like time, property and words
To feel my senses on a mountain top
Oh to be a bumble bird

As she pulls her zipper up I start to disappear
Through all of those whispered words
There's none I can even hear
Even though without her, I stand here gentle and alone
A single tree at Inisfree
And a hive to call my own

BE BE just BE
Who do you want to be?
