The Bear & The Bell Lyrics

Look at the time he gasped

It's only been 23 hours

A little bit less than the day she'd asked

For him to be quiet

Minute by minute he's writing away

He's chopping and changing the things that he'll say and he's gone

All my words are alive and the words say...

How're you feeling? I'm still breathing

This house feels like it's screaming

To lessen the time it took

He needed a map, a guide

The book of Enoch would be fine

When will it chime, when will it chime?

The bear and the bell have been kind

Every word has to be planned

There's only one chance to make her understand

And his soul flickers with gold

As he smiles, and the words say

How're you feeling? I'm still breathing

This house feels like it's screaming

What do you know?

How do you feel?

Are you breathing too?

Where are you now?

What's on your mind?

Are you breathing too?

How're you feeling? I'm still breathing

This house feels like it's screaming

He opened his mouth with a fog in his head

Some mirrors, some noise, when he spoke nothing happened

And he cried and he filled up with fear

And he didn't know what to do

And he finally said

I can make decisions with a capital D and I'm fine

He's perfectly fine

I'm on a mission to bury my eyes

The bear and the bell have been cannibalised

The hopes and the dreams have been cast aside

The perfect analogy covering up the hole

He's only tired

He's only become what he's owed

What do you know?

How do you feel?

Are you breathing too?

Where are you now?

What's on your mind?

Are you breathing too?
