Black Bear (Hushed)

by Andrew Belle

1.
Sister I remember Mother kept happy when she could Weather in December Never felt as warm as it should You were like a feather Never land where we thought you would Or anywhere close to it Who would have thought you never would So tell me what happens When the waves break And you’re surrounded He tries to kill you And you allow it Sister I remember The morning light on evergreen What seemed like forever Was just my mind escaping me Imitation leather The smell of blood left on the seat Was that your way of proving We look the same from underneath So tell me what happens When the waves break And you’re surrounded He tries to kill you And you allow it And you allow it Over and over he says I surround you I surround you I never leave my beloved I’ve found you I surround you I surround you, I I never leave my beloved I’ve found you

So where do I begin this my love Am I blowing down your door way If so then I’ll rebuild it this time And I’ll be on my way Come if you believe me Come if you remember the way If not then I will find you this time Wishing you had stayed Because it It wants what it wants The heart does It wants what it wants The heart, the heart It wants what it wants The heart does It wants what it wants The heart, the heart So how do I forget this my love And when do I belong here If trouble is a pathway we build Then I’m a pioneer Blame it on the illness Blame it on the winter we’ve had But suddenly the finger I pointed Is on the other hand Pushing the night Bending the light I succumb to I succumb to it Pushing the night Bending the light
3.
Just cause your heart’s afraid Doesn’t give the right to say I was born this way You see the part you played All the silhouettes you’ve made Fleet the light of Day I wish I was innocent in a bad way But I’ve found You don’t come after soldiers Unless they were yours in the first place Oh I swim in a violet sea But I’m bending the light connecting you to me So write a ‘lettre de marque’ and see Oh if this dark matter heart can bleed out right Why do I push away When your welcome is overstayed All I breathe is grey But through the disarray You’re the emissary vein To my left right brain Oh cause, I wish I was reticent in my own strength But I’ve found You don’t hold your composure When I say that with a straight face See you brought your wits about you The black bear that’ll haunt you If I can feel it, why do I need to see it – do I? See you brought your wits about you The black bear that’ll haunt you I don’t see it, oh did I ever feel it – did I? See you brought your wits about you The black bear that’ll haunt you
4.
You and me Got ourselves a problem I can see this Better than I solve em I believed I found a way around it I will leave This better than I found it There’s too much smoke to see it There’s too much broke to feel this Well I love you, I love you And all of your pieces History’s a letter made of scarlet Victories look better when you’ve called it Misery’s the moment when I lost you It’s pleasure in a costume It’s more than what it cost you All of your pieces
5.
I’m alone The son of tears Thought I was free but I wasted All these years The rancor Won’t fit ya So now I wait for the phone call To come get ya I pull up You crawl out Of a window in the basement of Your parent’s house A new song It’s unsung Now there’s some dust and a rectangle Where my picture hung I won’t fight it I won’t fight it I won’t I won’t fight it I won’t Woo ooh A sharp tongue It’s obvious Now there’s a room in a hospital Where your body is The B-bridge I walk to it If there’s a crowd waiting for me there I’ll break through it, but I won’t fight it I won’t fight it I won’t I won’t fight it I won’t Woo ooh
