Yellow Jacket On My Sleeve

Little yellow jacket on my sleeve
Come closer when you talk to me

Inject me with your stinging wisdom
Till there's none left to be given

I hate it and I love it in my system
You teach me to fly
At the cost of living your lie

Loiter and hover right near me
Witnessing every wooden gaze
Like a good point on a page

These ashes are ashen
These pillars are listening
Looking so totalitarian

Sapling zombies
Out to infect
Hands of green
Stinging softly
Veins of Mercury

Hardening the heart
Stiffening the crawl
After the yellow jacket
Has taken the drive
All hope may be lost
For iam the warrior
Returning alive
