Jumping up and down the floor my head is an animaland once there was an animal it had a son that mowed the lawnthe son was an ok guythey had a pet dragonflythe dragonfly, it ran awayBut it came Back with a story to say

her dirty paws and furry coat she ran down the forest slopethe forest of talking trees they used to sing aBout the Birds and the Beesthe Bees had declared a war the sky wasn’t Big enough for them allthe Birds, they got help from Belowfrom dirty paws and the creatures of snow

and for a while things were cold they were scared down in their holesthe forest that once was green was coloured Black By those killing machinesBut she and her furry friends took down the queen Bee and her menand that’s how the story goes the story of the Beast with those four dirty paws

taking over this town, they should worryBut these proBlem aside, i think i taught you well

that we won’t run, we won’t run, we won’t run

and in the winter night sky ships are sailinglooking down on these Bright Blue city lights

and they won’t wait, they won’t wait, they won’t waitwe’re here to stay, we’re here to stay, we’re here to stay

howling ghosts they reappear in mountains that are stacked with fear

But you’re a king and i’m a lionheart a lionheart

his crown lit up the way as we moved slowly past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left Behind

though far away, though far away, though far awaywe’re still the same, we’re still the same, we’re still the same

howling ghosts they reappear in mountains that are stacked with fear

But you’re a king and i’m a lionheartand in the sea that’s painted Black

creatures lurk Below the deckBut you’re a king and i’m a lionheartand as the world comes to an end

i’ll Be here to hold your handBecause you’re my king and i’m your lionheart

a lionheart

i heard them calling in the distance so i packed my things and ranfar away from all the trouBle i had caused with my two handsalone we traveled armed with nothing But a shadowwe fled far away

hold your horses nowwe sleep until the sun goes downthrough the woods we ran deep into the mountain sound

some had scars and some had scratchesit made me wonder aBout their pastand as i looked around i Began to noticethat we were nothing like the rest

the lights go out, i am all aloneall the trees outside are Buried in the snowi spend my night dancing with my own shadow

and it holds me and it never lets me go

i move slow and steadyBut i feel like a waterfall

i move slow and steadypast the ones that i used to know

my dear old friend, take me for a spintwo wolves in the dark running in the wind

i’m letting go But i’ve never felt Betterpassing By all the monsters in my head

and i move slow and steadyBut i feel like a waterfall

i move slow and steadypast the ones that i used to know

and i’m never readycause i know, i know, i know

that time won’t let me show what i want to show

we came here on his Back and we caught your eyethe salty ocean wind made the seagulls cry

the rocking of his house had me holding onBut i knew that i was safe from there on out

and the waves that hit his face marked the pastand the furrows on his skin, oh how time goes fast

and we are far from home But we’re so happyfar from home, all alone, But we’re so happy

after every sunny day, came a stormy nightthat’s when finner would say, “keep your heads held high”

and we are far from home But we’re so happyfar from home, all alone, But we’re so happy

i don’t like walking around this old and empty houseso hold my hand i’ll walk with you my dearthe stairs creak as you sleep it’s keeping me awakeit’s the house telling you to close your eyes

and some days i can’t even dress myselfit’s killing me to see you this wayBecause though the truth may vary this ship will carry our Bodies safe to shore

there’s an old voice in my head that’s holding me Backwell tell her that i miss our little talkssoon it will Be over and Buried with our pastwe used to play outside when we were young and full of life and full of love

some days i don’t know if i am wrong or rightyour mind is playing tricks on you my dearBecause though the truth may vary this ship will carry our Bodies safe to shore

don’t listen to a word i say the screams all sound the same though the truth may vary this ship will carry our Bodies safe to shore

you’re gone, gone, gone away i watched you disappear all that’s left is a ghost of younow we’re torn, torn, torn apart there’s nothing we can doJust let me go we’ll meet again soonno wait, wait, wait for meplease hang around i’ll see you when i fall asleep

slow, slow me downher Blood on my Bones

let go, lay to restwe fall, we fall, we fall

we fall to the ground

sleep, sleep all nightwhile the young, they wait alone

get up, shake the rustwe crawl, we crawl, we crawl

we crawl on the ground

alone, i fight these animalsalone, until i get home

a wolf, wolf and i we share the same cold meal

i float on, float on downwe ride, we ride, we ride

we ride it all out

alone, i fight these animalsalone, until i get home

coming Back, i’m coming Backcoming Back, i’m coming Back

she follows me into the woods takes me home

the sea said goodBye to the shore so the sun wouldn’t noticethe seaweed that wrapped it’s arms around youthe carpet on my cheek feels like a forestand i run though the tall trees with your hand chasing me

the Books that i keep By my Bed are full of your stories that i drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yoursto Be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget and Be the Better manto Be a Better man, to Be a Better man

so love me mother and love me father and love my sister as well

the cat’s silhouette - as Big as a monsterin this concrete Jungle with streetlights hanging their headsso make all your last demands for i will forsake youand i’ll meet your eyes for the very first time for the very last

so love me mother and love me father and love my sister as wellso love me mother and love me father and love my Brother as well

i met a man today and he smiled Back at menow there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet

i’m looking for a place to start and everything feels so different nowJust graB a hold of my hand i will lead you through this wonderlandwater up to my knees But sharks are swimming in the seaJust follow my yellow light and ignore all those Big warning signs

somewhere deep in the dark a howling Beast hears us talki dare you to close your eyes and see all the colours in disguise running into the night the earth is shaking and i see a lightthe light is Blinding my eyes as the soft walls eat us alive

oh, i miss the comfort of this housewhere we are, where we arewhere we are, where we are

the floor under our feet whispers out “come on in, come on in, where it all Begins”

can you chase the fire away

we climBed up to the top in worn out shoesshe ran down, she ran down she ran down to the housea foX that gains our trust

But then Breaks it as he walks away from usaway from us

can you chase the fire awayin the fall we sleep all dayin the fall we sleep all day

in the fall we sleep all dayin the fall we sleep all day

where we are

fishing for a friendcan’t rememBer when

it was dark, or the sun coming upfar across the ocean alone

while numB Bears at homesaid i could never get there

never get there

Breaking little twigs with my feetand underneath is a road that’s so steep

far across the ocean alonewhile numB Bears at home

said i could never get thereBut i’m already there
