Lowland Hum - Folded Flowers Lyrics

Hive, picture the inside of a beehiveEu de amber lightPerfection in a clock designWhatever helps you sleep at nightYou’re a bee in the hiveLet me just see your calm faceRemember that it is not a raceWe’re just folded flowers, folded flowersInvent an unknown animalAnd observe him playing on the front lawn:Velvet nose to the groundEars at attentionGo to your friends and say“What do you see in me? Am I an animal?”Let me just see your calm faceRemember that it is not a raceWe’re just folded flowers, folded flowersSometimes in my dreams people don’t have facesFeatures are blurred I can’t make out the shapesIt doesn’t bother me muchIt’s just like my waking life:People all around me, eclipsed by my me-sightLet me just see your calm faceRemember that it is not a raceWe’re just folded flowers, folded flowers
