Intro
D [repeat until lyrics]
[Verse]
Em
The flies in the dark with their ways
D
Of shedding some light, now I've lost all my day
F#m
I think they are very lucky
D
With internal parts like illumined sun rays
Em
It's so easy to get
D
Lost in the mixture
F#m
When forces strike hard
D
You wear your layers or you'll shiver
Em
I didn't think you were
D
Struggling so long
F#m
With all of the wild things
D
That we took so young
Em
How it must have wrapped you up
D
And left you hanging upside-down
F#m
When I was too busy getting lost in
D
The big sound, the big sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Now I'd trade in all I'd saved
D
To fly to those nights and ask, "How are you lover?"
Em
If we could have just engaged
D
I'd have enhanced my weakness in comforting others
Em
But the words are all jumbled and faded
D
My heart is a nurse, but my tongue's in the blender
Em
Now it's become something creative
D
I know it's not much, but just let it right into your gut
[Chorus]
F#m
And hold me, I've been sad for days
Em
The light does change its gifts, every hour's devoured
F#m Em
But the same things haunt me, what's haunting you?
F#m
Lately I've been seeing beings
Em
They look like they float at the back of my headroom
F#m Em
I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you
F#m
Lion in your dreams
Em
The lion is good for your dreams, accept the lion
F#m Em
The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too
F#m
And when I get fucked up, I'll do the best
Em
To make myself not fucked up again, my heart and my lungs too
F#m Em
Why can't I do the same for everyone I love too?
F#m Em
How about it'll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts
F#m Em
How about it'll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts
F#m
Lately I've been seeing beings
Em
They look like they float at the back of my headroom
F#m Em
I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you
F#m
Lion in your dreams
Em
The lion is good for your dreams, accept the lion
F#m Em
The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too
