about

After the fishy morning and the noonday demons, we come to the delicate twilight of the album.

What a banger. I really like everything about this arrangement and production. Possibly the best atmosphere I've created on a recording.

lyrics

Free as Bees

We could be free as bees
In sunny trees
In flowers full of mad disease

We could fly so crookedly
And sing off all the major and
The minor keys

We could be like little fleas
Sifting through the refuse and
The dead debris

Take nourishment from anything
Side by side
Parasites of entropy

All this radiating heat
And I don’t care just what we eat

We were born aristocrats
Bound up tight and
Locked inside a nutshell’s flaps

We can see as far as that
The warm and salty
Sea inside and nothing past

We crown ourselves the kings of space
And close our eyes to hide its face

We could lie as still as death
Let the autumn petals
Settle around our heads

Make bones connecting you to me
Watch them taking
Shapes from us and half from each

Nothing here goes to waste and
And everything lost is soon replaced

Winter is for whispering
Voices lull and
Drift until a coming spring

Everywhere cacophony
Open up your chest and
Set the insects free

Humming out of every pore
And everything is as it was before
