Lions Below

(album: Vultures Above, Lions Below - 2015)

Stand up
Be a man
Take it on the chin like I know you can
Those walls must be closing
Choking all the air
Empty your lungs with your lies
You scared?
All alone in the dark in the end
We're all connected, black silk from your web
Draining the life out of dreams I have dreamed
I hope that you hear this, I'll never forget

Glad you're gone
You'll never hear me say
That I'll need you here to watch me
Watch me walk away

Go ahead admit that you're wrong
You'll feel so much better
Your conscious so torn
How do you sleep? Do you lie awake?
Do you dream of hell or just your mistakes?
Open your eyes and peek through holes
Jump the fence and run with the wolves
How would it feel on the other side?
How would it feel with nowhere to hide?

Glad you're gone
You'll never hear me say
That I'll need you here to watch me
Watch me walk away

Now I'm alive and I'll cut these ties tonight
And I'm dying to survive
And you've taken all that's mine
Now I'm alive
As the candle loses light
The hope is burning bright
All the bridges set on fire
Now I'm alive

I see straight through your eyes
Where you hide behind the lies
