White Bear - The Temperance Movement

Wasted in lies and secrets

Bearing colors for a fight that’s not mine

Your 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

Everywhere 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 your best until the best comes along

Our love is all that I am

We smile so sweetly

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

Everywhere 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 every heartbeat

You say to empty my mind white bears are all I see

Unwanted, unwilling, untouchable, unworthy, undone

And I never even saw it coming

Until I’d given myself away

Everywhere 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
