Black Bear
Help help, I'm drowning,
in the sea where I found you
The keresene in your skin,
the chemistry that I'm bound to
Picture me on an ocean,
in a chest that I hollowed
I picture you in slow motion,
somewhere in west Colorado
Well I don't know where that place is,
if I did I would follow
I don't know what this taste is,
if I did I would swallow
Thought I knew all the answers,
Thought I held all the keys
Black bear, that I lead you to,
wants more than I can speak
Thought I drew out the cancers,
thought I fell the disease
Turns out that I need you now,
much more than you need me
A track meet in my car,
complicates what I told you
The back beat in my heart,
Syncopates when I hold you
Well I don't what the use is,
if I did I'd unfold you
I don't know what the truth is if,
I did I'd of told you
Thought I knew all the answers,
thought I held all the keys
Black bear, that I lead you to,
wants more than I can speak
Thought I drew out the cancers
thought I fell the disease
Turns out that I need you now,
much more than you need me
