about

I came up with the basic chorus for this song in the morning, but didn't really find the meaning of the words until after I'd gotten home from work. At first, it was about narcissism. Then, I realized what it was actually about, and the rest came together. Thanks to Mark Ricketts for a few word swap ideas for the chorus.

lyrics

I'm

Oh so shy

You won't find me, but

For

Me you'll die

Yes, you will, and well



I'll

Burn for you

If you ask me, but

You

Can't let go

I won't let you





I am the one

Who makes you fear

Just open your pockets

And pay with your tears



Who needs the birds?

To hell with the bees

Blood and oil

Thick as thieves





I

Help you grow

Feed your cities, and

You

Trust me so

With your babies, oh



For

You I'll fight

If you let me

I

Am your right

Come and get me





I am the one

Who makes you fear

Just open your pockets

And pay with your tears



Who needs the birds?

To hell with the bees

Blood and oil

Thick as thieves



I am the hand

That built all you see

Shattered by

Artillery



You push and you pull

But all around me

Are broken dreams

And apathy
