Protecting The Hive

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Strangely my dreams just seem to get farther out The more we stay in the one room, my sleep wants to shout About my lovers and others and my friends from the past When the world was a party, we all had a blast [Verse 2] It's hard to escape the coming feeling of dread The streets are still full of people, they're worried to death I work on a paper and I read on the wires They're making plans for disaster, the leadership lies [Chorus] I only believe what I can see with my eyes And I never understood why people pray when they die I never understood the desperation feeling till now Coming round to the idea, I'm taking a vow [Verse 3] I'm here in my teenage bedroom staring at flowers That he bought at the weekend when the weekend was ours Now the colours are fading like it's 1944 I'm waiting for my fiancé to come back from the war [Chorus] I only believe what I can see with my eyes I never understood why people pray when they die I never understood the desperation feeling till now Coming round to the idea, I'm taking a vow [Verse 4] The dress I wanna wear tonight hangs lonely on a hook And the only excitement is my paperback book I thought I loved him and the absence makes me randy as hell But then it could be illusion, I'm stuck down a well [Chorus] I only believe what I can see with my eyes And I never understood why people pray when they die I never understood the desperation feeling till now Coming round to the idea, I'm taking a vow [Bridge] It feels like everything tonight has come to an end The lonely blackbirds are singing, I'm missing my friends I'm making cup cakes and waiting for my soldier to survive We're in a war of submission protecting the hive [Chorus] I only believe what I can see with my eyes And I never understood why people pray when they die I never understood the desperation feeling till now Sign me up for conversion, I'm taking a vow
