From the recording BEAR
Lyrics
Newspaper skies,
black leaves printed on a periwinkle July
Time doesn’t fly,
I’m caught between the peach trees and fluorescent lights
They hum like collections of reflections from past connections
Dissect my indiscretion
Like a blue veil obstructing the view
I’m surrounded by you
Scratching at what once was my silhouette
eh, eh, eh
eh, eh, eh
eh, eh, eh
eh, eh
Oh oh, love left me cold
Every time I feel it my throat
Oh whoa
You were my home
And I’ll say I’m fine through gritted teeth
But beneath the ice I made is where i'll be
Like thunder I cry
Lightning crashes through an obsidian night
For you I did try
To bury every piece of me that makes me alive
The sun can wait another day, for you I’d rot away
Selfish mind for your affection
In a home that reeks of guilt and neglect
I’m haunted by it
Detaching from what once was my confinement
eh, eh, eh
eh, eh, eh
eh, eh, eh, eh
Oh oh, love left you cold
Every time I feel it my throat
Oh oh
I was your home
I’ll say I’m fine to quench your greed
But feeding off the poison’s where I’ll be
Oh, oh, I was your home, home, oh no
Oh oh, oh no, oh oh
you were my home, home, oh no
home oh no, home, home, home, home
Oh oh, love left us cold
Every time I feel it my throat
Oh oh
We were our home
And I’ll say I’m fine but best believe
Climbing out the rubble is where I’ll be
