lion/lamb

(album: Yearbook - 2020)

Heavy blankets on my thin skin
They weigh me down and now I'm sinking
Into the water
They say, "You're too soft, be a little harder"
We march unguarded through the silence
I'm bearing my back on, it hides
Like a lamb to the slaughter
They say, "You're too hard, be a little softer"

It's never a fair fight
It's never black and white

I face down the fire
My heart in my hand
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb
Now I've shed all my armor
And it's still hard to stand
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb

When the winds won't stop their blowing
I'd trade my gold jacket for a little sheep's clothing
And hold on longer, oh-oh-oh
They say the bruises are bound to make you stronger

It's never a fair fight
It's never black and white

And I face down the fire
My heart in my hand
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb
Now I've shed all my armor
And it's still hard to stand
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb

I send my proud
Out to pasture
For all I know
The fall comes after
It weighs me down
Into the water
A little bit softer
A little bit harder

(And I face down the fire
My heart in my hand)
My heart in my hand
I've shed all my armor
And it's still hard to stand
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb

I face down the fire
My heart in my hand
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb
Now I've shed all my armor
And it's still hard to stand
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb
Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb
