Atiptoe - Silly Old Bear

Waiting on a mystery
You let me down with all the promises you said you'll keep
But I trust in us the battle through the hardships
To stay afloat and not plunge into darkness
I just really wish you'd know
If I should stay or I should go
I'll be waiting for your answer

Why should someone suffer for the one that they love
The bittersweet nonsense of the sad lonely painter
Should never be spoken of so seriously by anyone
To live in sadness is to admit defeat
To collapse under pressure to the coward's retreat
To buckle under the verbal knuckles of your lover
Is a place that I don't want to be

Something disturbs me slightly
And I can't let it go
Surrounds me all the time
Keeps playing on my mind
This thing, I really don't like it
My intuition isn't
My intuition isn't giving me any rest
I think I know it but I don't want to know if I'm right

Your eyes are out of focus
And failing that they're overflowing
You know conflict isn't breathing
Self inlicted damage aside
You can't stay quiet for ever
Break the silence and become untethered

But something disturbs me slightly
And I can't let it go
Surrounds me all the time
Keeps playing on my mind
This thing, I really don't like it
My intuition isn't
My intuition isn't giving me any rest
I think I know it but I don't want to know

Waiting on a mystery
You let me down with all the promises you said you'll keep
Haven't heard a single word from you all week
All hope is lost ini all the things that we used to dream of
We are the shadows of what we used to be
Once enraptured by this make believe

Your eyes are out of focus
And failing that they're overflowing
You know conflict isn't breathing
Self inlicted damage aside
You can't stay quiet for ever
Break the silence and become untethered
