"Box Full O' Honey" has an uptempo beat, featuring drum patterns that flow with changes in the arrangements to chorus and verse variations. The sound has an experimental feel with lyrics sung over fast new age beats.

Lyrics[]
Box full o' honey
At the sharp end of the view
The edge of me and you
And all good sense had tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees
How I'm trembling on my knees
But I'm still drawn on by the murmur
Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear I your crown
My life's penitence
And for what
What's so funny
A box full o honey
What I thought a pretty tune
Was howling at the moon
To keep me company this evening
It's so lonely in the dirt
A scratching at the hurt
But I so generously did leave you
Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear I your crown
Some cruel penitence
for what
What's so funny
Box full o honey
Is she flirting with me now
Ohh
Is she dallying with me now
Ohh
ohhh
Are you flirting with me now
You'll always be my queen of tumble down
Miss melancholy
Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear I your crown
And my life's a penitence
And for what
What's so funny
Ain't it funny
A box full o honey
