The Temperance Movement – White Bear lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
