Folded Flowers

Hive, picture the inside of a beehive
Eu de amber light
Perfection in a clock design
Whatever helps you sleep at night
You’re a bee in the hive

Let me just see your calm face
Remember that it is not a race
We’re just folded flowers, folded flowers

Invent an unknown animal
And observe him playing on the front lawn:
Velvet nose to the ground
Ears at attention
Go to your friends and say
“What do you see in me? Am I an animal?”

Let me just see your calm face
Remember that it is not a race
We’re just folded flowers, folded flowers

Sometimes in my dreams people don’t have faces
Features are blurred I can’t make out the shapes
It doesn’t bother me much
It’s just like my waking life:
People all around me, eclipsed by my me-sight

Let me just see your calm face
Remember that it is not a race
We’re just folded flowers, folded flowers
