A Lion and a Queen

We’re not born to be liars
Not born to be thieves
Just get caught up in the moment
We don’t know what it all means

It came to me in a vision
It was more than just a dream
Where I was a Lion
And you were my Queen.

My words mean nothing
Just scratches on a page
Your words mean the world
Though they fill my heart with rage

All that I want’s
To be Comfortably Numb
Well I’m numb for sure
I’m numb and it hurts

Each breath is wasted
My lungs don’t exist
All I can feel is my heart
Digging its way out my chest.

Scratches on my brain
That’s all they ever were
Just a product of the pain
The long days we must endure.

Why won’t it just go away?
I just want it to go away.

I try sometimes to explain my thoughts
I can write them down I could shout them out
But something keeps them inside of me
It’s my fatal flaw it’s my enemy

If I could tell you then things would change
And maybe my life would rearrange
My words could change things I know they could
But my words fall short like I feared they would

I believe in the
Changing of the seasons
Things go wrong
There must be a reason

Maybe that’s why I sit here and write
Is to scratch away all the pain
I just want it to go away
Why won’t it just go away?

Maybe we’re born to be liars
Maybe we’re born to be thieves
Get caught up in the moment
And fall down to our knees

But I’ve seen the vision
Yes I want to believe
That I am a Lion

And you are my Queen.
