A Freak Accident

The Bear Quartet

What I remember 
It's too cold in the water 
Too hot indoors 
Beyond the point of remorse 

What I remember 
There's a bottle and it's broken 
By words finally spoken 
No missing links howled in the open 

But I'm sure I heard you laugh 
Only stitches away from the past 
I avoided today 

A strange quality greets me here 
A promise no one would notice 
To come back again 
If I somehow got away 

A sad discovery 
I can't locate the centre 
Of how much you meant to me 
Of what I once felt as alive in me 

But I'm sure I heard you laugh 
Only stitches away from the past 
I avoided today 

Adrenaline and awe 
Sharpened everything I saw
