[ti:Bees] [ar:The Ballroom Thieves] [al:Folk Yeah! Vol. 3] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.78]Bees - The Ballroom Thieves [00:01.40]Composed by：The Ballroom Thieves [00:21.14]There's a voice that pulls me stumbling through a symphony [00:25.85]And the less of it I need the more I get [00:30.29]'Til I'm swept up by the shape of all the centuries [00:34.96]Like an echo in the chambers of my chest [00:39.13]I think she fears I'll be a servant to my history [00:43.70]Or worse a slave to someone else's misplaced doubts [00:48.73]So I try too hard to kill what's out to kill me [00:53.38]'Til I'm blind and hiding in the lion's mouth [00:57.98]And the words she aches to hear pour through my canyon [01:03.23]And they're singing in the caverns of my limbs [01:08.14]And though I do my best to try to understand them [01:12.91]They only follow me like vultures in the end [01:38.92]I once read that I should write something worth reading [01:43.49]Or I should do something worth writing about [01:47.98]And as my ears they buzz like bees upon the ceiling [01:52.27]I start to pour a little more than I'm allowed [01:56.77]I said our hearts know deeper seasons than our memories [02:01.65]She said this harvest might sustain us for a year [02:07.30]And of all the thousand ways the world could tempt me [02:12.10]I've never met a better fighter than her fear [02:16.90]So as I try to breathe the air that she is breathing [02:22.07]And we dance a lightless dance upon my floor [02:30.65]I am burning to tell her she's all I'm needing [02:35.61]But I'm drowned out by all the noise outside the door [02:44.01]Carried by the current of the morning [02:48.92]Miles below the surface of the dawn [02:54.42]This is not the place that I was born in [02:58.44]But it doesn't mean it's not the place where I belong
