The Bear
Young boy, so afraid of
Touch things, whatchu made of?
Heard all of the stories
Stay away, it's a warning
There's a bear in the woods
If you go he will bite you
Bite you
He seems kind, don't be fooled
It's a ploy to entice you
Entice you
He visited my dreams
As I drift away he's standing over me
And I could hardly sleep
For shamefully I yearned for his retreat
The years went by
I forgot about the bear
I met a
Girl with tones of ruby in her hair
We fell in love a bit too fast
And when my head got heavy it couldn't last, no
Open up, won't you talk?
Tell me what you're afraid of?
'Fraid of
Broke down when our bond came to end as a frayed love
Afraid love
She visited my dreams
And I asked her why we couldn't find our peace
Then he crawled from underneath her sheets
And she said to me
"You can't have me without the bear"
It's time to face him
I said "He's stronger than I am"
I couldn't take him
But the goal is not to fight the bear
You must embrace him
His paws reach out before my hands
And I take them, oh
I see he never meant me harm
I was just taught to be afraid
I feel a sense of learned perspective
Overtake all my shame
I feel a wound begin to mend
Deep water flowing from the shrine
A new acceptance of the truth
That I am me, mine
Young boy, no longer
Got bit but you came out stronger
Touch things, whatchu made of?
Heard all of the stories
Stay away, it's a warning
There's a bear in the woods
If you go he will bite you
Bite you
He seems kind, don't be fooled
It's a ploy to entice you
Entice you
He visited my dreams
As I drift away he's standing over me
And I could hardly sleep
For shamefully I yearned for his retreat
The years went by
I forgot about the bear
I met a
Girl with tones of ruby in her hair
We fell in love a bit too fast
And when my head got heavy it couldn't last, no
Open up, won't you talk?
Tell me what you're afraid of?
'Fraid of
Broke down when our bond came to end as a frayed love
Afraid love
She visited my dreams
And I asked her why we couldn't find our peace
Then he crawled from underneath her sheets
And she said to me
"You can't have me without the bear"
It's time to face him
I said "He's stronger than I am"
I couldn't take him
But the goal is not to fight the bear
You must embrace him
His paws reach out before my hands
And I take them, oh
I see he never meant me harm
I was just taught to be afraid
I feel a sense of learned perspective
Overtake all my shame
I feel a wound begin to mend
Deep water flowing from the shrine
A new acceptance of the truth
That I am me, mine
Young boy, no longer
Got bit but you came out stronger
