Bear

In bed your body burns just like a fire.

And your eyes they twitch under lids from side to side.

And my ego can’t seem to get a grip

I’ll simplify the terms I’m leaving

Until my body lays under leaves and green-green grass

By then my ego might finally get a grip

So I’ll let my lover lie and in absence I’ll drink tonight

With tired limbs, indecent mind, and beggar’s bones

I could patiently seek another chance

Or I could cut you deep with a simple glance

I loathe your hesitance

I’ll let my lover lie and in absence I’ll drink tonight

With tired limbs, indecent mind, and beggar’s bones

So lay like a monument to poise and indifference

Betrayed by retreating lips to baring teeth

I’ll trade my vindictive sigh

For quarter of witless spite

Til I, like my lover, lie with beggar’s bones

Til I let my lover

Lay like you know I swallowed my hungry pride

And let it all go for the sake of a better life
