about

Nature, nurture, or both. Sometimes you can't help yourself

lyrics

Walking the woods again, shadows where you've been
Lose some, give one, just to hear a sound
Something like DNA passed down in a programmed brain
Tendencies meet needs, push against the ground

Why you going to cross the street?
Just to go and poke the bear
With some clippers out as if you're going to shave off its hair
What were you thinking?
How's it going to all work out?
Maybe a bloody mess, dragged and beaten up and down

Half expected, self directed, what's predicted
When you poke the bear
Immolation, put in motion, the reaction
When you poke the bear

Where's your imagination?
Try and entertain yourself
Getting attention anyway I guess it comes around
Always closer, reaching out to touch the rail
Sabotage yourself than wait around just to fail

Half expected, self directed, what's predicted
When you poke the bear
Immolation, put in motion, the reaction
When you poke the bear

Poke the bear, I think I'm going to poke the bear
I think I'm going to poke the bear
