lyrics

I saw it running by the freeway
Sniffin’ round the yard
Ooh, I could feel it in my scars
So I rounded up a posse
Tracked it through the marsh
And I aimed my bow straight at its heart

Well we dragged it through the village
Had ourselves a feast
But I felt like it was eating me

Killing the bear
Was the best we could do
Followed our fear
Avoided the roots
And we can’t understand why we’re still scared to travel by the moon
Is it me? Is it you?

Well, we had a little respite
Some superficial peace
But I could never feel relief
Squinting through the twilight
A ruffling in the trees
Little son’s staring back at me

Killing the bear
Was the best we could do
Followed our fear
Avoided the roots
And we can’t understand why we’re still scared to travel by the moon
Is it me? Is it you?

They say it started near the trailhead
It only took a spark
And the pines fell like the royal guard
Yeah it was racing toward my back door
Devouring the bark
And I saw her march straight through the dark

Killing the bear
Was the best we could do
Followed our fear
Avoided the truth
And we can’t understand why we’re still scared to travel by the moon
Is it me? Is it you?
