I quit the carnival and moved next door |
|
Thought i'd had enough but i wanted more |
|
So now i'm sneaking out at night |
|
I clean my face and shine my shoes |
|
And go where i'm not supposed to |
|
See i tamed a lion once i stole his roar |
|
Stripped his pride away but he found more |
|
So now he's out to take what's his and shove |
|
My future in my face and scare me back in my place |
|
So soon so soon you've got it beat 'til it eats you |
|
See i left my flaming sword beside your bed |
|
I woke to find it pressed against my neck |
|
You wept suggestion never works |
|
So now i'm trying something else |
|
I shut my eyes hold on.. oh well |
|
And i felt a feather fall a tree trunk split |
|
Inside my lying mouth played violin |
|
He said you should give up your voice |
|
Before we both end up destroyed |
|
I quit alrighthe purred good boy |
|
You'll fall for anything when you're caught |
|
You'll believe anyone and |
|
I said that's not exactly true |
|
Only you, you do what you do |
|
You awake in the hospital in a thrift store suit |
|
You hear your lover's voice from the waiting room |
|
You shut your eyes and pray for peace |
|
Think i'm not here this isn't me |
|
This isn't something i would do |
|
I know the complicated truth |
|
A big top tent a firey sword |
|
I make a mask of lions roar |
|
But they're not real and never were |
|
And soon she won't be real either |
|
This is the life you went and earned |
|
Because you never fucking learn |
|
You could use up all of your years |
|
Fixing the mess you make in here |
|
So as her nervous dress draws closer |
|
Dress heels click off their approach |
|
You clutch your chest and whisper |
|
"oh no, what will i do? what will i do? |
|
My love, my love, what will i do?" |
