Lion

Enter the tragic child; a dream run past his eyes
In arrogance, "The world won't hold me down 'til I'm laid in the ground"

The clock runs creeping on my shoulder
The sea will run me 'til I'm red
I feel my limit tailing towards me
I won't stop for the walls I've torn down
Before the start began, I wrote the end
Run home; Come end, run home

I'm the lion, the fire, the season
The wind rides off my back and calls my name
To come and settle down
Lift your eyes, I am the meaning
Run it down the river
I'm the light that feeds your life to take the pain away

Find me when I'm sleeping
The zero sum of all I've missed
I live inside the bigger picture
Grind my teeth to prove I've got it figured out
Tell her I'm still waiting
Expectations met and more
Blood and water never mix well
If I hesitate just tear my heart out

I've been pulled taught as the week's run long
I've been asleep for too long

My wax wings burn from up top the sun
What have I won?
Enter the tired mind; the dream sat at his side
"I think I'm done. The world won't let me down 'til I'm laid in the ground"

Can I be more than all my parts?
Replace my heart
If I can't handle the weight of the world, just replace my arms
I am a machine

If my heart won't beat
