Black Bear

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 too

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 too

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
