Emphasis Lyrics


Death is promised to the bee
Who's sting protects the colony.
Was it's life worth nothing more
Than honey for the queen?Life is a branch and it is a dove,
Handcrafted by confusing love.
Sign language is our reply,
When church bells make no sound.In hollow towers and empty hives,
Craved sweetness with a fear of heights.
Was it all just a grain of sand
In an hourglass?The smartest thing I've ever learned
Is that I don't have all the answers,
Just a little light to call my own.Though it pales in comparison
To the overarching shadows,
A speck of light can reignite the sun
And swallow darkness whole.Death is a cold, blindfolded kiss.
It is the finger pressed upon our lips.
It puts an unwanted emphasis
On how we should have lived.Life is a gorgeous, broken gift.

Six billion pieces waiting to be fixed.
Love letters that were never signed,
Sent to where we live.But the sweetest thing I've ever heard
Is that I don't have to have the answers,
Just a little light to call my own.Though it pales in comparison
To the overarching shadows,
A speck of light can reignite the sun
And swallow darkness whole.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ryan O'Neal's journey has taken many turns over the past twelve years under the moniker of Sleeping At Last. What began in 1999 as a Chicago-based teenage garage band has organically transitioned to original songwriter O'Neal as a solo artist continuing the gorgeous thread of work that has amazed and captivated listeners over all these years. Near its inception, Sleeping At Last's amateur debut album, "Capture," was noticed by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, who helped expose the music to the major-label world.
