Bears In Trees - Baggy Hoodies

You sit on the toilet seat
I sit in the bath
And you're crying quite sweetly
I sing all the parts
To a folk song I love
From my childhood
And when that is done
You says just one more tune
And we must have been in there
For at least two hours
Me clothed in the tub
Dripped on by the shower
Your whispering stories
Pull strings from your mind to thread
Whilst simultaneously asking me
To just sing instead
I sung
Dododododododo
I know I can't convince you
Watch me through tears of tinsel
Shimmering ribbons down your cheeks
Happiest when you're asleep
That's not quite true, but you're joy always seem so fleeting
I know I can't convince you, I say we love, you won't believe me 
But instead you ask me to sing one more time
I couldn't think of any words if I could they wouldn't rhyme
I just sung
And you left
So I laid there in silence
For hours on end
My walls became giants
And they were not my friends
I tried to leave the island
My queen sized bed
But every time I tried it
The walls just laughed at my attempts
I just sung
We were
Feeling unleashed
But we were
Feeding the beast
That was
Breathing underneath
Our baggie hoodies
Always falling off our feet
Feeling low and incomplete
But we never saw defeat
Rolled till sunrise hit the street
