Thief of clouded minds help me through

I′ve read a library but couldn't get a clue

Take my confirmation and I′ll take the pain

Then change from close relation to never meet again

It's act one again well deja vu?

It's like hating sport but watch the show

So scream at tv screens to feel not ignored

Well Dogs will sniff my shit I′ll spread it out

I′ll take a deep breath and repress the lonely crown

But you'll choose silence I′ll ask you why?

If I throw you into fire will you come back this time?

Well take your hammer I'll choose a pen

When you hurt my body I′ll hurt your goddamned brain

And all the muscles they'd rather fight

Than being honest and tell you what′s inside

Well boys don't cry they just bury their hearts

While underground the earth shakes

In pitiful sights

For all the places where no one will hide

And sleep on stones cause it seemed so right

Well boys will be boys cause you praise them to

Be strong and fearless

But I'm weak and I fear that you leave

Forever being lonely with mmm by my side

I keep on pretending that these dreads make my life...

(Light this Lion′s Cave)

A whim when he leaves the stage

(dusty fairytales)

They paint my face with filth again

(Light this Lion′s cave)

He's got his roar and the herds astray

(let it fade again)

I′ll try to turn it off, my friend

Ohhhhh (but) I can't swim

(Light this Lion′s Cave)

A whim when he leaves the stage

(masked with devil's paint)

We′ll compare our bruises 'til we fade

(Light this Lion's Cave)

A whim when he leaves the stage

(dusty fairytales)

They paint my face with filth again

(Light this Lion′s cave)

He′s got his roar and the herds astray

(Let it fade again)

It's "overplaying sadness" damn

Ohhh I can′t swim

(Light this Lion's Cave)

A whim when he leaves the stage

(masked with devil′s paint)

We'll compare our bruises ′til the end
