lyrics

The question that is “what if” it can ruin a man right down to the darkest deep.
Like a weed in a garden if you leave it it'll grow until no longer you can breath.
Don't let that honeybee sting of life come follow me.

The heart is the garden and love is the keeper, but the gate is it open or closed?
I've got weeds in my garden and I need them to come out but love I wont let close.
Don't let that honeybee sting of life come follow me.
Don't let that honeybee sting of life come follow me.

Blossoming gardens flowers dressed to the nines.
Colors in chaos scales have fallen from eyes.
He rolled the stone,
He rolled the stone,
He rolled the stone away for you and for me.

Like the honeybee that stings until it dies it'll try, but no it can't follow me.
But still there's those moments filled with fear when I say are you there? Then you sing.
Will the Lazarus of my heart rise to his feet.
While he weeps he whispers me, death has no sting.

When you're filled with despair and it's all black in here, hold on tight to the words that he bled.
He's spoken believe it there's no lies underneath it, look around heaven is near.
Will the Lazarus of our hearts rise to their feet.
When the honeybee stings it dies it can't follow me.

Something about the unpredictability of doing things live captivates him, yet still, not one to pursue the stage. Simplistic guitar playing lays the foundation for his granular songs. With words delivered by the experiences of life, his songs are undoubtedly his own. ... more
