Playlist Bear S Den

bear s den - a year ago today

A year ago today
I was stood beside you outside the court room
And when they called your name
You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller
For you've already served
All that you deserved, too many lifetimes over
And when they called your name
You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller

And money always flowed
From the pockets of your clothes to the hands of another
Copper, silver, gold
A greater love was sold, down the Craig Matty River
He promised you the world
You let your hair unfold right down his shoulders
He promised you the world
And now that same old world is just getting smaller

Oh, Mama
I told you all the time
Please be careful with your love
I told you all the time

Oh, Mama
I told you all the time
Please be careful who you love
I told you all the time

A year ago today
I was stood beside you outside the court room
And when they called your name
You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller
And I watched as your pride
From your nose and eyes, came out a flowing
And when they called your name
You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller

Oh, Mama
I told you all the time
Please be careful with your love
I told you all the time

Oh, Mama
I told you all the time
Please be careful who you love
I told you all the time

Oh, Mama
I told you all the time
Please be careful with your love
I told you all the time

Mama Love

bear s den - above the clouds of pompeii

We built our home out on the slopes
Pompeii beneath, she lay above
How she haunted our home
How she haunted our home

You were a God in my eyes
Above the clouds, above the skies
You were a God in my eyes
You were a God

You took me walking through the town
Showed me the statues underground
Said just don't they look in peace
Sometimes I wish that was me

I was the son you always had
Tugging at your coat when you were sad
I was the son you always had
I was the son you always had

Oh please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

Just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

You said stay in the car and wait
There's just some things I have to say
Don't you know I miss her, too
I miss her just as much as you

So my father and my son
As you end what she's begun
You'll lie patient by her side
With roses red come lilies white

I was too young to understand
The flowers slipping from your hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand

I was too young to understand
The flowers sleeping in her hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand

Don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

And just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

bear s den - agape

Agape
Please don't dissipate
Yeah I know that I have got it so wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch your voice
But baby I'm clutching at straws
Even though
Your words hurt the most
I still want to hear them everyday
You say let it go
But I can't let it go
I want to believe every word that you say

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know it
I don't want to know who I am without you

Well Agape
Please don't dissipate
Yeah I know that I have got it so wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch you now
But baby I'm clutching at straws

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know it
I don't want to know who I am without you

I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know it, yeah I know it
Tell me how long love before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know it
I don't want to know who I am without you
I don't want to know who I am without you

bear s den - auld wives

Auld wives lifts
Auld wives lifts
How have you got here?
Where do you come from?
What do you tell?

I see his face
I see his face
Carved deep in the stone
Another mind you have taken away

But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all you've left behind
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name

Now I call your name
I call your name
But you can't hear me now
No, you don't recognize my face

Who are you?
Who are you?
And why do you call me that?
How dare you call me that

But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all you've left behind
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name

But I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name

But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all you've left behind
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name

bear s den - bad blood

Sever the ties
Cut me out
And fill up the hole
That I tied and I tried and I tried to fill
Oh but I lied and I'll lie at will
Just to keep your feet off the floor
And to keep my wolves from your door

Forgive me for I am not acting myself
But these bees in my breath have to come out
Well you give me no reason to doubt your word
But I still somehow still have my reasons
And I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood
All this bad blood
All my bad blood

Well I slashed your tires
And I locked your doors
So no one gets out
But there's a rupture to the structure
Of this house that we built
And I fucked it yeah I fucked it and I fucked it until
Those wolves they took all they could

Forgive me for I am not acting myself
But these bees in my breath have to come out
Well you give me no reason to doubt your word
But I still somehow still have my reasons
I'm sorry, I don't mean to scare you at all
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood
All this bad blood
All my bad blood
All my bad blood
All my bad blood
All my bad blood

As I walk down he road of old St. Augustine
I recall a choir singing in some orchard
Well the tighter you hold, yeah they're still gonna go
Until all you remember is the courtship
Well I know I was far from perfect
But I was just dying to drain all my bad blood
All my bad blood
All my bad blood

bear s den - broken parable

I feel the raise, in my fingers
I feel more just slip away
I open my eyes
And I fall behind
So I run towards the stables
But the courts have bolted now
And I watch them fly
Out into the night
Out into the night

I felt a shiver in my ribcage
And I can feel the fear regrow
No more hanging on
But I can't let go
I jump from sweat in the night love
But I swear you came to me
Just as you always would
May you always be

Now I'm just a broken parable
Values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
Babe I'm dying to be born again
Lost footsteps in the snow
Down the paths we used to roam
Don't say it was only love
Don't say I didn't love you love

Not a ripple in the water
Not a whisper in the wind
Awake in the evening
Hoping the sun will shine again
But my courts they have all gone now
And all that I could not contain
Though the seasons may change
Love is all that remains

Now I'm just a broken parable
Values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
Babe I'm dying to be born again
Lost footsteps in the snow
Down the paths we used to roam
Don't say it was only love
Don't say I didn't love enough

Now I'm just a broken parable
Values I used to hold
Somewhere I lost it all
Babe I'm dying to be born again
Lost footsteps in the snow
Down the paths we used to roam
Don't say it was only love
Don't say I didn't love enough

Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
I'm dying to be born again

Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
Did I not love enough?
I'm dying to be born again

bear s den - don't let the sun steal you away

Well the birds start their screaming
As you let go of my hand
And old words lose all meaning
As morning descends

Fickle night you are a liar
And you made a fool out of me
You mistook my love for desire
And you set my demons free

Don't let the sun steal you away
Don't let your mind speak louder than your heart
Don't let the sun steal you away
Don't let your mind speak louder than your heart

Well I know that you're scared
I know, for I am too
I'm scared of hurting someone
The way I've been hurt by you

And I don't want to touch you in the night
If I cannot hold you in the day
But as the sun slowly rises
Your love for me decays

Don't let the sun steal you away
Don't let your mind speak louder than your heart
Don't let the sun steal you away
Don't let your mind speak louder than your heart

Don't let the sun steal you away
Don't let your mind speak louder than your heart
Don't let the sun steal you away
Don't let your mind speak louder than your heart

bear s den - elysium

Brother do you believe in an afterlife
Our souls'll both collide
In some great Elysium
Way up in the sky
Free from our shackles, our chains, our mouths, our brains
We'll open all the gates
We will walk careless, straight into the light

I've never felt so enlightened
Every page I turn
I only find myself
Feeling more alone
Posing questions to a silent universe
My very thoughts are cursed
They just seem to multiply
Forever in my mind
Brother don't grow up
Brother please never grow up

Just hold out against the night
And guard your hope with your life
For the darkness, she will come
Oh and you have nowhere left to run
Oh but your eyes are wider than mine
But they'll never see?
Just hope that age does not erase all that you've seen
Don't let bitterness become you
Your only hopes are within you

Just hold out against the night
And guard your hope with your life

bear s den - emeralds

There are emeralds in the moon glow
The storms raging through my mind
Just a whisper in the shadows
And I fell into the night

Won't you let me out?
Won't you let me out? No
I tried so hard
Don't lead me away, no
We've come so far
Are you there at all?
Are you there at all?
Won't you break my fall?
Don't lead me away, no
We've come so far

Careless sun shining brightly
And the crows starts circulating
As the skies cry blacklightning
Lord knows that I fell
That I fell
But how far I'll never tell

Won't you let me out?
Won't you let me out? No
I tried so hard
Don't lead me away, no
We've come so far
Are you there at all?
Are you there at all?
Won't you break my fall?
Don't lead me away, no
We've come so far

I look for you every nightfall
I search all my dreams
In my mind you'll always be shining
An emerald in the moon glow

Won't you let me out?
Won't you let me out? No
I tried so hard
Don't lead me away, no
We've come so far
Are you there at all?
Are you there at all?
Won't you break my fall?
Don't lead me away, no
We've come so far
We've come so far

bear s den - fickle love

Like a child you cling on
To me
Hoping I'll shield you from the world
But our sorrows are to heavy
And all our kisses are too cold

I don't feel a thing
For you
Anymore

No I don't feel a thing
For you
Anymore

No I don't feel a thing
For you
Anymore

And the morning won't forgive me
For this fickle kind of love
I just wish you could believe me
For I don't know where I have gone

But I don't feel a thing
For you
Anymore

No I don't feel a thing
For you
Anymore

No I don't feel a thing
For you
Anymore

I don't feel a thing
For you
Anymore

I'm nothing like the person I believe myself to be
I'm nothing like the person that I want you to see
No I'm nothing like the person I believe myself to be
No I'm nothing like the person that I want you to see

bear s den - isaac

Isaac are you listening
I watched it from afar
Yes I watched as the clouds began to part

Isaac can you see me now
I've known you all my life
I worshipped the ground you walk upon

Isaac will you never learn
That a father's love
Must be earned
While your mother need not learn

Isaac I have never seen you look so afraid
With your head pressed so hard against the stone
You look so alone

I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you

Isaac are you listening
I watched it from afar
Yes I watched as your life just fell apart

Isaac I could never learn
Why a father's love must be earned
While your mother need not learn
How to love you

I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you

I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you

bear s den - magdalene

Sing a song for the daughters of Magdalene
All tied up in their white ribbon
November came and before I got your letter
I will love you better, I will love you true

Everyday, I would wait by the gates for you
But with time how your heart withdrew
You said I'd never understand the pain
or share the shame but you know that I wanted to

But you gave me hope
And now you take it away
You took my love
And now you celebrate
When the morning comes
No I don't believe
That my god, oh my god
How could you take her from me?

And so I told and the sisters of mercy came
By your school just yesterday
I never meant for to cause you any pain
I want to make it better
Make it go away

So sing a song, for the daughters of Magdalene
All smothered neath the white linen
If Mary knew how she was being used
So misconstrued, how you were being used

But you gave me hope
And now you take it away
You took my love
And now you celebrate
When the morning comes
No I don't believe
That my god, oh my god
How could you take her from me?

But you gave me hope
And now you take it away
You took my love
And now you celebrate
When the morning comes
No I don't believe
That my god, oh my god
How could you take her from me?

bear s den - mother

Father, he cried with his fists one evening
His eyes were ablaze from all he consumed
Mother, she crawls down the stairs in the morning
She's black and blue, broken and bruised
Black and blue, broken and bruised

She crawls to her room and she screams her hardest
Lets the voices inside her head bleed into one
She hears his footsteps alone in the darkness
She closes her eyes and prays for her son
Closes her eyes and prays for her son

But no, her son doesn't come
And no, her son doesn't come

Now all I remember is reading your letter

Saying "I'm leaving," not for how long
Look after your mother, look after your sister
Don't make my mistakes, I know they were wrong
Don't make my mistakes, I know they were wrong

Hindsight, it was beautiful but not so forgiving
The truth just follows and festers inside
You can choose just what you remember
But the truth gets lost and found by your lies
The truth gets lost and found by your lies

And no, your son will not come
And no, your son will not come

bear s den - my lair

You need not have come to my lair
You do not know who you'll find in there
I sink my claws into the snow
For all that you've forgot in my passive show

For there's a corner
Out amongst the white
Where someone is waiting
For you to arrive
And though you're searching
For what you might never find
He'll be there waiting
For all of your life

I could not ignore the call of the night
To return to the haunt you would have me deny
No, I could never tell you where I had been
For you could never answer them

But there's a corner
Out amongst the white
Where someone is waiting
For you to arrive
And the one you're holding
Is not the one you left behind
He'll be there waiting
For all of your life

And though our coats are all at one with the snow
I could not turn away from all I wish I didn't know
All I wish you had not shown

bear s den - napoleon

I still see you there
A tall glass of napoleon and an off-white leather chair
Trying to sink tomorrow
What's so important today?
You said the same shit yesterday
The tired lies that you recite
You don't really mean them, do you?

Another broken afternoon
A whole life just scattered and strewn
Across the bathroom floor
And I'll draw the blinds and lock the doors
We need some help
I can only help you hurt yourself
I threw it all down the wishing well
Don't throw it all down the wishing well

You always say that we're gonna get there
Show me where
Show me where
Don't just say that we're gonna get there
I wanna know where
I wanna know where

It's not too late to mend
We've only got one shot now napoleon
No it's not too late to mend
It's not too late to mend what we've broken

It's not too late to mend
We've only got one shot now napoleon
No it's not too late to mend
It's not too late to mend what we've broken

You always say that we're gonna get there
Show me where
Show me where
Don't just say that we're gonna get there
I wanna know where
I wanna know where

It's not too late to mend
We've only got one shot now napoleon
No it's not too late to mend
It's not too late to mend what we've broken

It's not too late to mend
We've only got one shot now napoleon
No it's not too late to mend
It's not too late to mend what we've broken
