Well Enough Alone

By Me Like Bees

On The Ides

Truth told I don't care for cold it gets stuck to the inner bone

One thing to be left alone is well enough when it's well enough

Pray tell in the rut you fell did you break bread out of stone

What had you left had you just left

Well enough alone

From heights akin to kites I surveyed the mess below

A voice belt from the helter-skelt of two winds that came to blows

Said picking fights is like picking scabs

It just leaves a bloody mess

Now look where we're at

How the flesh is always in a scream

Fainter spirit whispering

When we afford the former's every plea

We divide in tragedy

Hey sister say are you well? She said "well enough alone"

A clever line but the first design concluded two per home

So I corrected her the phone

There never was a one

Well enough alone

How the flesh is always in a scream

Fainter spirit whispering

When we afford the former's every plea

We define fair selfishly

And then we

Begin

To speak of sudden ends

Like a voucher good for eighty years got taken from our hands

Now if it were up to me and you know it really isn't

'Cause it wasn't my idea and it wasn't my decision

This wouldn't be the story of the tares and the wheat

Where the Lord was being patient for what he separates and reaps

It'd be a Lennonesque figment that was talked up in Imagine

Everybodyholding hands just a'singin' and a'clappin'

But this isn't like that song

It's a lot more like Get Back

Now imagine that, imagine that, imagine that, imagine that

In my universe everyone would have a planet and a sun

Where they would rule over land and creature no need for anyone

But I didn't make all this ya know

Some thoughts are better left

Well enough alone
