lyrics

Ants in the modem, it’s a colony of tech support
Finding home and God in the hum of the electric source
Within the scurry is a bug penning nevermores
And contemplating symbolism stuffed behind a cellar door
Hives Inq. Been producing mighty hijinks
While the tastemakers all catch their 40 eye winks
We do it for the flutter in the belly
Outside of that there is nothing you can tell me
We are but a tiny spider in the tub
All is good and well til the spiraling’s begun
Carried by the circumstance right into the plunge
Leaving back a web of the types of things we’ve done
I know it ain’t as famous as I wish
I know the feeling when you’re big bang has been eclipsed
Relegated to the dimmest star in the whole sky
Just because you don’t see it don’t mean it don’t shine

We something like a tree when it falls
Nobody hears it, nobody at all
We building something here right now with a saw
Come around and catch a house made of logs
We something like a tree when it falls
Nobody hears it, nobody at all
We built our own town in the mist and the fog
Come around and see a city in the moss

Bees in the gutter, a colony of should’ve beens
If you see a sob story, then you better look again
Within the mayhem sits one lazy busy bee
Trying to find a way to make it all work more efficiently
Hives Squad, like a third eye’d Cyclops
While the writers pick and choose, we lurking in the blind spot
We do it for the tingle in the toes
Taking it as it comes and relinquishing control
We are but a buzzing fly between the panes
Best seat in the house to perceive the scenic range
Distracted by the view, we don’t even see the cage
Til the conscious leaves the flesh and the piece of meat decays
I know it ain’t as noticed as I wished
I know the feeling of your magnum opus being missed
Relegated to the smallest fish in the whole sea
Just because you don’t catch it don’t mean it don’t breathe
