White Bear Songtext

von The Temperance Movement

Wasted in lies and secrets
Bearing coulors for a fight that's not mine
You love is all that I have
I slip so sweetly
Into the corners where the sun never shines
Hiding my sunbeam underneath my coat

And I never even saw it coming
Until I'd given myself away
No matter where i go there's always something
For killing the man in me
High up on a haze but I'll be falling
Down on my hands and knees
Everywhere I go there's always something
For killing the man in me

High price for wisdom
Do you best until the best comes along
Our love is all that I am
We smile so sleekit
Death wish rambles where the shadows are long
Finger my sunbeam like a dirty joke

And I never even saw it coming
Until I'd given myself away
No matter where i go there's always something
For killing the man in me
High up on a haze but I'll be falling
Down on my hands and knees
Everywhere I go there's always something
For killing the man in me

White bears are marching in time to my eyes beat
You say to empty my mind white bears are all I see
Unwanted, unwilling, untouchable, unwothy, undone

And I never even saw it coming
Until I'd given myself away
No matter where i go there's always something
For killing the man in me
High up on a haze but I'll be falling
Down on my hands and knees
Everywhere I go there's always something
For killing the man in me
