Lions On The Beach

(álbum: Into The Past - 2022)

I've been trying to tell you I wasn't running away
I been dying to see you back on the shoreline
I've been feeling the currents under me everyday
I live in fear of the predators after your pride

Daydreams of lions on the beach and better days
Their teeth are biting but I'm keeping them away
You lost the fight but you're deserving of a praiseful eulogy

I've been chasing a shadow against the current
On troubled water I'm trying to stay above it
An adversary that I've been trying to overcome my whole life, my whole life

And I'm on my own
Hundreds of miles from the coast I know
Eighty four days in the heat
Can I show grace in defeat
When everything's taken from me?

My hands are bleeding, my head is heavy, my pride is dying
And I have nothing to show for it but a skeleton
I feel defeated, upset, and empty but I've been trying
To see the struggle as an escape from the hell I'm in

Daydreams of lions on the beach and better days
Their teeth are biting but I'm keeping them away
You lost the fight but you're deserving of a praiseful eulogy

I've been chasing a shadow against the current
On troubled water I'm trying to stay above it
An adversary that I've been trying to overcome my whole life, my whole life

And I'm on my own
Hundreds of miles from the coast I know
Eighty four days in the heat
Can I show grace in defeat
When everything's taken from me?

I'd rather death than this defeat
I think I left a part of me at sea

I'd rather death than this defeat
I think I left a part of me at sea
Into the past below the waves
I hate I had to go and make your grave

I've been chasing a shadow against the current
On troubled water I'm trying to stay above it
An adversary that I've been trying to overcome my whole life, my whole life

And I'm on my own
Hundreds of miles from the coast I know
Eighty four days in the heat
Can I show grace in defeat
When everything's taken from me?

I'd rather death than this defeat
I left a part of me at sea
