Lioness

(album: Ritual - 2017)

Headlights up ahead
Maybe it's sunlight under a bridge
A green light, doesn't feel right
And the sign says don't look back, my friend
I turn around, turned around again
"Pull yourself together, man, it's in your hands."
She slapped my wrist before crawling to bed
"Don't think too much," is what she said

Check the mirror for a switch in the back of my head
I used to come equipped with a... uh, I'm dead
If she catches me in the past tense ever again
I just want it so bad, so badly it's a sin

I don't wanna make love
I wanna make a mess again
Tear ourselves apart at the seams
No I don't wanna make love
I wanna make a mess again
Be my problem, my pill
Please be all that I need

I think I'm good now I found a cure
Talk to the television ear to the floor
With the world, man I don't feel so bad
Keeping a gun in the top drawer
Live a little, unravel your ends
So many long to be alive while they can
But I like to chase the questions with open ends
The second hand is begging for a minute to spend

I thought of giving up, letting go of that high
Changed the picture in the mirror, now I I let die
I was better back when, with the shit eating grin
I just want it so bad, so badly it's a sin

I don't wanna make love
I wanna make a mess again
Tear ourselves apart at the seams
No I don't wanna make love
I wanna make a mess again
So be my problem, my pill
Please be all that I need

It's not as bad as they say
But we don't care
We're not looking to be saved
It's not as bad as they say
But we don't care
We're not looking to be saved

I don't wanna make love
I wanna make a mess again
Tear ourselves apart at the seams
No I don't wanna make love
I wanna make a mess with you again
Be my problem, my pill
Please be all that I need
