lyrics

Blood Bear

Your blood is moving slow, and thickly so.
Your blood oh it is glancing to and fro and it will not let go.
I've got a bear in my heart and he is telling me it's time, you know,
to say goodbye to the pulse and the aching, squeezing flow.

In this blood are the seeds you've sown, a field of veins you raked and hoed.
But the open flood, oh it never comes, you're dry and scorched,
you bless the crows.
Here comes that bear for my heart,
he's marching chamber dirges as he grows.
Goodbye goodbye, goodbye goodbye,
we count it down, we count it down to zero.

Goodbye, I know.

I'd heal your blood, our stars and cells were made to dance,
to light our way and keep us close.
We hum, we flame, we shine, we shake,
we resonate and then we go.
Here comes that bear for my heart, he is steady dragging as a stone.
He enfolds me in his loving arms, we bow our heads, he takes me home.

I know that bear in my heart, we're symbiotic, toe to toe.
We are resting here in the still of time, a single beat, a final stroke.

Goodbye, I know, goodbye.
That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is.
