Lyrics
The Leopard And The Lung
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.
Hope it dries the mouth
The enemy clear
The trees pulled out
The song
That’s still within
Flattens the void that Moi began
Hate
It’s gonna overrun this town
As soon as the moon goes to nothing
Wait
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face my something
So the roots were long
Each flower a claw that reminds the man
And love still kept you there
The memory earthed for us to share
You laid the land
Laid bare
So, all I do is stare
Hate
It’s gonna overrun this town
It follows you everywhere
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face my something
You’re their fort standing
Nothing can shake your walls
One will that’s worth so many
The leopard and the lung
You’re their fort standing
Nothing can shake your walls
One will that’s worth so many
The leopard at their throats
You’re their fort standing
Hate
It’s gonna overrun this town
As soon as the moon goes to nothing
Wait
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face, it’s better to face my something
