Lions (Acoustic)

Father I'm overwhelmed, I can not wait to get in

Mother It's over, I'm on it again

Father I'm overwhelmed, just let me know what it takes

Mother It's hopeless, I'm born without breaks

And now you sleep with lions in your bed

Wide awake, their jaws above your head

Is the answer to it all just hit and run?

Pick it up son, someday we will be gone

Surrounded by polaroids, I'll remember these sonorous views

When I get older, they might come to use

I was hugging my rollerblades, my only way to get by

Since they got stolen, I'm stuck in denial

I'm under the Influence, wearing the wilderness

Crossing the border, by only scratching the surface

Nurtured by mother earth, but she disappears when I speak

Come hold my hand now, I'm feeling so weak

And now you sleep with lions in your bed

Wide awake, their jaws above your head

Is the answer to it all just hit and run?

Pick it up son, someday we will be gone

And now you're growing flowers in your home

So when we die you'll never be alone

Although it might seem easier to leave

You own it son, the truth is in between

Gather the lions here

I wanna feel their weight

Gather the lions here

I wanna feel their weight

Talk to the islands it's only they who know what I've caused the air

Fucking around with words I wanna sell em all again

Talk to the islands it's only they who know what I've caused the air

Fucking around with words I wanna sell em all again
