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