Jar Full Of Bees

Letter Seventeen

Verse 1
Morning keeps its promises
I don’t stop to question why
I stay ahead by staying busy
I don’t listen, I don’t try
I don’t ask it what it means
If I keep my hands in motion
I don’t hear what’s in between

Chorus
There’s a jar full of bees inside my head
Buzzing at me when I’m lying in bed
Every sound I can’t outrun
Comes back louder again
A jar full of bees inside my head

Verse 2
Something’s ringing through the day
Even when I seem okay
Every room feels a little small
I can keep it back all day
If I keep my eyes ahead
Night comes in without a sound

Chorus
There’s a jar full of bees inside my head
Buzzing at me when I’m lying in bed
Every sound I can’t outrun
Comes back louder again
A jar full of bees inside my head

Turn (Verse 3)
I give up trying to make it stop
Let it do what it will
I don’t chase the quiet now
I just let the night move through
I don’t need to win this one
I just need to see it through

Final Chorus
There’s a jar full of bees inside my head
Buzzing at me when I’m lying in bed
Every sound I can’t outrun
Comes back louder again
A jar full of bees inside my head
Louder than the quiet that I need
But I’ve learned how to be friends
With a jar full of bees inside my head
A jar full of bees inside my head
There’s a jar full of bees inside my head
