Lions

Bite down on reality; we're only fools.
We’ll turn around and run away from all the rules.
We've been thinking that we'll always have each other’s backs,
But what exactly happens when you finally crack?

Best friends for always, isn’t that what you said?
Well, always never comes around after something is dead.
We're hunting down the answers; we just want to come clean.
Cause I can't just forget you or the things that I've seen.

Every night I've got to swallow the things that I hide.
All their eyes are on me like they wanna take my life.
They're lions on the hunt and you're leading the pack.
This will never make up for everything that you lack.

Not even a lullaby could put you to sleep.
You're not exactly who I thought you would be.
I wonder if it thrills you, playing sick little games.
Nobody ever said that lions were easily trained.

Once upon a time you were somewhat golden to me.
Somewhere along the lines I finished counting to three.
The game is over, but you’re still hanging tight to the rope.
I hope one day that I can watch you let it go.
