Frenzy of Bees

The Chalk

Lyrics:

I read a love letter that you wrote to me.
It started off honey and it ended in a frenzy of bees.
You wrote that love’s a translation
of a third hand version of an old incantation.
But it ain’t that simple…

Your love ain’t nothing but a rubber knife.
It won’t cut nothing but it sure feels right.
Baby, I would bet my life
this won’t be easy.

I heard a love song that you used to sing to me.
It filled my ears up with static like the buzzing of a frenzy of bees.
And sure I could have changed the station,
Moving up and down the dial for a new relation.
But I ain’t that stupid…

Your love is just a rubber knife.
It won’t cut nothing but it sure looks right.
Baby, I would bet my life
this won’t be easy.

I read a love letter that you wrote to me.
It started off honey and it ended in a frenzy of bees.
Your love is a translation
of a paraphrased version of an old incantation.
But it ain’t that simple…

Your love is like a rubber knife.
I won’t cut nothing but it sure looks right.
Mama, I would bet my life
this won’t be easy.

No, it won’t be easy.
It won’t be easy…
