Thought of a tree
Thought of the roots
Heavy on me, heavy on you
In time, we'll surface
In time
Thought of the hands
Thought of the fruit
Under the knife
Bored on the stoop
The hive is nervous, the hive
The hive

What's the final takeaway?
All the joy, all the pain
Everyone here wants to say
They know what it's like
Peace and love, still the rage
War and famine in its wake
Everyone here wants to say
They know what it's like

Caught in a maze
Try to get through
Mental is dark, the body turns blue
The hive is nervous, the hive
Building a house, destroying one too
Burning the books, telling the truth
The hive needs purpose, the hive
The hive

What's the final takeaway?
All the joy, all the pain
Everyone here wants to say
They know what it's like
Peace and love, still the rage
War and famine in its wake
Everyone here wants to say
They know what it's like

This wonderful life
Torn us in two
Heavy on me, heavy on you
Come time, we'll surface
Come time, we'll surface
Down to the wire
What should we do?
Tear down the walls, get out of the room?
The hive has purpose, the hive
The hive

What's the final takeaway?
All the joy, all the pain
Everyone here wants to say
They know what it's like
Peace and love, still the rage
War and famine in its wake
Everyone here wants to say
They know what it's like
