Hive Minds - Norma Jean

A vine in the cracks of a life’s work

Shifting and flowing up

To find purpose under the sun

A moment of reprieve for the art born from the dirt that’ll tear it all down

You can’t fault the natural order of things

Yeah, someday these bones will be dust beneath a sprawling city of human

achievement

Flowing up for a place under the sun

Do you see it now?

The gold on your back weighing you down?

Come down

Do you see it now, do you see it?

Pride is a cancer born from the cracks and crawling skyward

I have been you, the shell on the street corner with change

A sunset car ride with a bottle of meds, or is it the canopy and rooftops?

A burst of soft color and a haze on your limbs

Do you see it now?

The gold on your back weighing you down

Come down

Do you see it now, do you see it?

(x2)

Now, do you see it now, do you see it?

The vines will come for you

They always do, they came for me too

Gravity may not be a law but all things will find ground

Pride is a cancer born from the cracks and crawling skyward

I have been you, the shell on the street corner with change

Hungry hands

The vines will come for you

They always do, they came for me too

Gravity may not be a law but all things will find ground

We all know it exists (x3)

Do you see it now, do you see it?

Do you see it now, do you see it?

(x2)

Laid out under the orange red

Sun showers in your head on the palms soaked rooftops you’ll never find

Begging for death from the cancer of pride

On that empty street corner I’ll keep walking

I will leave you behind
