The Bear In Recovery

Verse 1

Fluff hanging from a seams

Sitting on a plastic chair

Round ears and button eyes

Looking at the folks there

I stand up slow

"I am Kuchisake-Onna"

"Hi Kuchisake" the room shouts back

Voices warm like a summer track

Verse 2

I open up the book

Pages worn and very thin

Step one is the start

Where we let the truth in

Powerless over the glass

Life was a total mess

Came to believe in more

Ending all this deep distress

Chorus

Follow the lines on the floor

Open every heavy metal door

One to twelve until I'm right

Climbing out of the night

Better days for a bear

Healing in the circle there

One to twelve to be free

Working on the brand new me

Drop

New me

Free

Bridge

Inventory of the soul

Cleaning out every dark hole

Admitted every single bad thing

Wait for what the change might bring

Making up for all the hurt

Rising up from the dirt

Prayer and meditation for the heart

This is where the magic starts

Chorus

Follow the lines on the floor

Open every heavy metal door

One to twelve until I'm right

Climbing out of the night

Better days for a bear

Healing in the circle there

One to twelve to be free

Working on the brand new me

Post-Chorus

Twelve steps

Higher ground

Twelve steps

Safe and sound

Oh-oh

Yeah-yeah

Bear in the room

Healing the gloom

Drop

Safe and sound

Healing the gloom
