letra de you’re the only ten i see - bears in trees

[verse 1]
i’m in a sh-tty pizza place, somewhere in tennessee
watching displays of opulence
on a cracked tv
and the people are all talking about solving death with death
and i can’t think of anything better
so i just hold my breath, think about

[pre-chorus]
when i was younger
tried to make myself turn purple
told i have to sit still, mind running ’round in circles
i am just a collection of confusing memories
scattered like acorns across an oaken canopy

[chorus]
your name was a first language, a favourite song
now it tastes like it’s spelled the other way
a foreign object against my tongue

[verse 2]
i’m watching a slug through the window
my eyelids are crickets, my breath is small
in my mind i’m burning photos
bubble wrap wrapping around my joints
i hear the earth’s mantle cracking briefly
whilst the dust in the sunbeam comforts me feebly
[chorus]
your name was a first language, a favourite song
now it tastes like it’s spelled the other way
a foreign object against my tongue
and after all these years i should be grateful just because
whilst you did hurt me greatly
you only hurt me once

[bridge]
i need to tend the fabric of my folklore
patch together the pieces of my myth
i walked too long in other people’s fables
i wish to dig in the complexity which i exist
seeing my reflection there is nothing
that resembles who i thought i wanted
fill up the sp-ce where my love once resided
with freshly-pressed flowers, loose-leaf tea, clay and rocks and sticks

[chorus]
your name was a first language, a favourite song
now it tastes like it’s spelled the other way
a foreign object against my tongue
and after all these years i should be grateful just because
whilst you did hurt me greatly
you only hurt me once

- bears in trees
