lyrics

LIONSONG

i reach out for another day
and grab whatever comes my way
between the sheets, i cut and run
to satisfy what's left undone

and the lions keep begging
the lions keep begging in the sun

i close my eyes and wait it out
and get on with another route
where nothing is the same and yet it feels
like a passage to the space between the wheels

and the lions keep begging
the lions keep begging in the sun
there's nowhere to run
the lions keep begging
the lions keep begging in the sun

this feeble fire
relies on the way it goes
when they cut the wire
and leave me on my toes
just for a moment
enough to see my life fly by
in that fractured space
behind my eyes

under this spell, i block it out
while the lions on my back, they curse and shout
and still it barely seeps into my soul
for those moments in the sun that i just stole

and the lions keep begging
the lions keep begging in the sun
there's nowhere to run
the lions keep begging
the lions keep begging in the sun
i'm overrun
and the lions keep begging
the lions keep begging in the sun
there's nowhere to run
the lions keep begging
the lions keep begging in the sun

all at once i hit the wall
and stumble inches down the hall
to silence all that howling of the wind
until it kicks and comes around again
