Song #41: Like a Bee Sting

After a few weeks of reflective heart-churners, I wanted to turn the tables this week and let loose. Musically this is one of the most hard-rocking songs of this entire project. Lyrically I chose the darker themes of coercion and manipulation to match the tone of the music. Crank it up... just don't come complaining to me if your head explodes.

PLAY:



LYRICS:

Cry, try and brush her shoulder
Sigh, make sure that she sees
Lie, force her in the picture
Just try and get back anything

Put it in a box and make sure that it fits
You say you want the best
but you've got a funny way of showin' it

Die, if you want attention
Why, can't they all just see
Buy your way back in the picture
Force her into shock like a bee sting
