Lyrics
My Pet Lion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a moment
In every day
Right before
It's too late
Innocent child
Sees the truth
But your mother
Never knew
You snuck downstairs
And doused the flames
All in vain
Can't hold on
Gotta let go
Can't hold on
Gotta let go
You know just what you want
You want ice cream and bags of chips
And chocolate and blood and guts
And drugs and sex and cigarettes
I got tricks to keep me in line
Like being good for a while
I sit on my hands
But my heart speeds up qxkpstmz fuck!
Can't hold on
Gotta let go
Can't hold on
Gotta let go
Make me wild
Let me out
Inside a house
On stormy seas
The roof is leaking
Under the waves
There is no light
And everyone's sleeping
I'm so afraid
I'm not in control
It's out of control
Rip me to shreds and spit it out all over the world
Make me wild
There's a moment
In every day
Just before
It's too late
Can't hold on
Gotta let go
Can't hold on
Gotta let go
I can't hold on
Gotta let go
