Shake the Beehive

Verse 1 You keep poking at the quiet, Like silence ain’t got teeth, Laughing at the thunder While you’re standing underneath. You thought I was a flower, Something pretty, something sweet, But I’ve got storms inside my chest And honey on my grief. Pre-Chorus Don’t mistake my calm for kindness, Don’t confuse my peace with weak, I’ve been holding back a swarm That you don’t really wanna meet. Chorus Go on, try and shake the beehive, See what comes alive, You wanted all the smoke, Now the whole sky’s full of fire. Go on, rattle every wall, Kick the nest and watch it fall, You thought you’d get my honey, But you woke up every sting inside. Try and shake the beehive. Verse 2 I was minding my own garden, Growing gold from broken ground, But you came swinging like a hammer, Trying to burn my kingdom down. Now the air is getting heavy, There’s a buzzing in the room, You can call it overreacting, I call it flowers learning doom. Pre-Chorus I gave warnings like a mercy, I gave distance like a prayer, But you kept dancing with the danger Like the danger wasn’t there. Chorus Go on, try and shake the beehive, See what comes alive, You wanted all the smoke, Now the whole sky’s full of fire. Go on, rattle every wall, Kick the nest and watch it fall, You thought you’d get my honey, But you woke up every sting inside. Try and shake the beehive. Bridge Buzz, buzz, baby, better run now, Sweet turns savage when the sun goes down. Buzz, buzz, baby, hear that sound? That’s every little thing you tried to bury coming out. I’m not cruel, I’m protective. I’m not mean, I’m divine. But keep your hands off my healing Unless you’re ready for the hive. Final Chorus Go on, try and shake the beehive, Watch the dead things come alive, I was only making honey, Now I’m making warning signs. Go on, rattle every wall, Kick the nest and watch it fall, You thought I’d break in silence, But I rose up multiplied. Try and shake the beehive, Try and shake the beehive, Baby, I dare you— Shake the beehive.
