lyrics

Thief of clouded minds help me through
I've read a library but couldn't get a clue
Take my confirmation and I'll take the pain
Then change from close relation to never meet again

It's act one again well deja vu?

It's like hating sport but watch the show
So scream at tv screens to feel not ignored
Well Dogs will sniff my shit I'll spread it out
I'll take a deep breath and repress the lonely crown

But you'll choose silence I'll ask you why?
If I throw you into fire will you come back this time?

Well take your hammer I'll choose a pen
When you hurt my body I'll hurt your goddamned brain
And all the muscles they'd rather fight
Than being honest and tell you what's inside

Well boys don't cry they just bury their hearts
While underground the earth shakes
In pitiful sights

For all the places where no one will hide
And sleep on stones cause it seemed so right
Well boys will be boys cause you praise them to
Be strong and fearless
But I'm weak and I fear that you leave

Forever being lonely with mmm by my side
I keep on pretending that these dreads make my life...

(Light this Lion's Cave)
A whim when he leaves the stage
(dusty fairytales)
They paint my face with filth again
(Light this Lion's cave)
He's got his roar and the herds astray
(let it fade again)
I'll try to turn it off, my friend
Ohhhhh (but) I can't swim
(Light this Lion's Cave)
A whim when he leaves the stage
(masked with devil's paint)
We'll compare our bruises 'til we fade

(Light this Lion's Cave)
A whim when he leaves the stage
(dusty fairytales)
They paint my face with filth again
(Light this Lion's cave)
He's got his roar and the herds astray
(Let it fade again)
It's "overplaying sadness" damn
Ohhh I can't swim
(Light this Lion's Cave)
A whim when he leaves the stage
(masked with devil's paint)
We'll compare our bruises 'til the end
