Generate meaning
1
i quit the carnival and moved next door
2
thought i'd had enough but i wanted more
3
so now i'm sneaking out at night
4
i clean my face and shine my shoes
5
and go where i'm not supposed to
6
see i tamed a lion once i stole his roar
7
stripped his pride away but he found more
8
so now he's out to take what's his and shove
9
my future in my face and scare me back in my place
10
so soon so soon you've got it beat 'til it eats you
11
see i left my flaming sword beside your bed
12
i woke to find it pressed against my neck
13
you wept suggestion never works
14
so now i'm trying something else
15
i shut my eyes hold on.. oh well
16
and i felt a feather fall a tree trunk split
17
inside my lying mouth played violin
18
he said you should give up your voice
19
before we both end up destroyed
20
i quit alrighthe purred good boy
21
you'll fall for anything when you're caught
22
you'll believe anyone and
23
i said that's not exactly true
24
only you, you do what you do
25
you awake in the hospital in a thrift store suit
26
you hear your lover's voice from the waiting room
27
you shut your eyes and pray for peace
28
think i'm not here this isn't me
29
this isn't something i would do
30
i know the complicated truth
31
a big top tent a firey sword
32
i make a mask of lions roar
33
but they're not real and never were
34
and soon she won't be real either
35
this is the life you went and earned
36
because you never fucking learn
37
you could use up all of your years
38
fixing the mess you make in here
39
so as her nervous dress draws closer
40
dress heels click off their approach
41
you clutch your chest and whisper
42
"oh no, what will i do? what will i do?
43
my love, my love, what will i do?"
