[Chorus: Danny] I am a lion, and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep 'Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be How can I sleep at night? There's a war inside my head I found a lion hidden right beneath my bed I will not hide myself from the tears that you have shed 'Cause I am a lion, and you are dead
After all, only so much we can say Words can lose their meaning once we walk away Promise that you love me, watch me as I fade I'll give you all those things that these liars never gave Put the hands on the clock and the things we cannot change Tear it all to pieces and take back what I made If there's one thing I'd keep, it's you that I would save 'Cause I am just a lion, and a lion I will stay
[Bridge: Johnny 3 Tears] Hey, I never meant to let go All I want and you're all I ever wanna know Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home Of a pretty home, of a pretty home Hey, I never meant to let go All I want and you're all I ever wanna know Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home Of a pretty home, of a pretty home, hey
This song is related to the nature of him,like the fable of the scorpion and frog,A scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, they would both drown. Considering this, the frog agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When the frog asks the scorpion why, the scorpion replies that it was in its nature to do so.
