Sleeping Bear

The sleeping bear inside your brain will wake again to kill and maim My quiet steps won't wake him yet I know I really should escape But still I wait I hesitate Amidst the smell of fear and death I'm paralyzed by your disguise Your pretty face hides hideous depths When I go my heart will turn to stone And I'll be left to sleep alone The sleeping bear inside your brain is waiting there to fight again I cannot go because I know the road I take won't curve or bend And here we sleep amidst the trees And lick the wounds he left before The shadows bend in angry wind Across the face that I adore When I go my heart will turn to stone And I'll be left to sleep alone And so my fears will keep me here I'm buried in a summer snow And slumbers still the beast that will return to kill lest I should go And so my fears will keep me here I'm buried in a summer snow When I go my heart will turn to stone And I'll be left to sleep alone
