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