Stubborn Beast Lyrics - Islands - Bear's Den

Such a stubborn beast 

Is best away from the flock 

You've enough pride for all of us 

As you wander your island 

Unborn and unloved 

You set fire to the bridges 

That you were carried across 

But those letters 

They're all strewn across your bedroom floor 

Such beautiful words 

But you just can't remember who they're for 

By your window there's a picture filled with strangers 

Always looking down on you 

Such a frightened fawn 

Is best far from the road 

No you wouldn't want to expose your flesh to your bones 

But you can't help but notice 

All those letters 

Well they're all strewn across your bedroom floor 

Such beautiful words 

But you just can't remember who they're for 

By your window there's a picture filled with strangers 

Always looking down on you 

Always sticking around for you 

They were always looking around for you 

But never able to find you
