sleepy eye drive - lion lyrics

[verse 1]
quiet eyes
in the dark of the lion’s den
they say that they’re good
with voices of darkened wood
feeble hands
pushing softly against the glass
not making a sound
still shaking the very ground
there’s hundreds of people in silence
the light’s coming in from below
under the threat of the lion
we’re moving impossibly slow
you say you’ve something to tell me
it’s taken a lifetime to learn
something of beauty and terror
something so awfully absurd
something just like

[chorus]
i can just barely hear you
i can just barely scream
with my head underwater and feet in the sand
clouds are a distant dream
i can just barely know you
i can just barely fight
as the lion is watching with ravenous eyes
tell me the words to write
tonight
[verse 2]
twenty years
and you’ve never felt so alone
although i am here
the lion has bent my ear
velvet claws
growing longer with every day
keep them out of sight
i swear it will be alright
there’s thousands of people in silence
the light is as bright as the sun
under the rage of the lion
the two break apart from the one
you say you’re dying to see me
but not in the beautiful sense
you’re trying to keep it together
and get me to know what you meant
when you shouted

[chorus]
i can just barely hear you
(i can’t hear you)
i can just barely scream
(i am screaming now)
with my head underwater and feet in the sand
clouds are a distant dream
i can just barely know you
(i don’t know you)
i can just barely fight
(i am fighting now)
as the lion is watching with ravenous eyes
tell me the words to write
i can just barely hear you
(i can’t hear you)
i can just barely scream
(i am screaming now)
with my head underwater and feet in the sand
clouds are a distant dream
i can just barely know you
(i don’t know you)
i can just barely fight
(i am fighting now)
as the lion is watching with ravenous eyes
tell me the words to write
[verse 3]
the two of us sitting in silence
the light’s all but faded away
under the reign of the lion
what more could we even say?
so tear down your paper cathedrals
pack up the satin machines
lift the facade like a curtain
’cause i still don’t know what you mean
but i’m trying

[chorus]
you can just barely hear me
you can just barely scream
with your head underwater and feet in the sand
clouds were a distant dream
you can just barely know me
you can just barely fight
when the lion is watching with ravenous eyes
i don’t know what you’ll write
tonight
