Lyrics

Can you feel the black bear in your chest?
All the fading colors you once had left
Am I the only one hoping that the weight gets lighter?
He sits beside my bed when the morning breaks
Whispers in my ear 'bout the past mistakes
Every dream I chase, he's pulling at my sleeve
Turning every victory into make-believe
I try to outrun him, but he knows my pace
Knows the cracks and corners of my quiet place
He's heavy like winter on a tired soul
But I keep on walking, trying to stay whole
Yeah, black bear creeping in the back of my mind
Claws on my thoughts, trying to keep me confined
He don't shout, nah, he moves in silence
Turns my inner world into slow-burn violence
But I'm still here, breath tight in my chest
Fighting for a moment where my heart can rest
He's a shadow, but I'm learning how to stand in the light
Even when he follows me into every night
Can you feel the black bear in your chest?
All the fading colors you once had left
Can you feel the black bear in your chest?
All the fading colors you once had left
Some days he's smaller, just a distant hum
Other days he's louder than a beating drum
But I keep moving, even when he slows me down
Even when he paints my colors into shades of brown
I'm not alone, though he tells me that I am
He's a liar, but he's patient, knows exactly who I am
Still I rise, even when he tries to pull me under
Every heartbeat louder than his quiet thunder
Look, I ain't tryna glamorize the weight I feel
But I'm done pretending that the pain ain't real
Black bear on my back, but I'm learning to deal
He's a part of my story, not the one who'll seal
My fate, my path, my breath, my name
I walk through the dark, but I'm not the same
Every step I take is a step he hates
'Cause I'm breaking the cycle he recreates
Yeah, he's here, but I'm here too
And I'm stronger than the things I've been walking through
If the night feels long, I hold on tight
'Cause even heavy shadows fade with light
And if the black bear stays, I'll still move on
'Cause every tired heartbeat keeps me strong
Still I feel the black bear in my chest
But the colors slowly fight against the rest
I'm not the only one, and someday the weight gets lighter
Still I feel the black bear in my chest
But the colors slowly fight against the rest
I'm not the only one, and someday the weight gets lighter
