Black Bear

Lyrics

Help, help I'm drowning In the sea where I found you The kerosene in your skin The chemistry that I'm bound to Picture me on an ocean In a chest that I hollow 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 The black bear that I led 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 know what the use is If I did I'd unfold you I don't know what the truth is If I did I'd have told you Thought I knew all the answers Thought I held all the keys The black bear that I led 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
