Lions on the Beach

I've been trying to tell you I wasn't running away I've been dying to see you back on the shoreline I've been feeling the currents under me everyday I live in fear of the predators after your pride Daydreams of lions on the beach and better days Their teeth are biting but I'm keeping em' away You lost a fight but your deserving of a praiseful eulogy I've been chasing a shadow against the current On troubled water I'm trying to stay above it An adversary I've been trying to overcome My whole life my whole life And I'm on my own. Hundreds of miles from the coast I know 84 days in the heat, can I show grace in defeat? When everything's taken from me (taken from me) My hands are bleeding my head is heavy my pride is dying And I have nothing to show for it but a skeleton I feel defeated upset and empty but I've been trying To see the struggle as an escape from the hell I'm in Daydreams of lions on the beach and better days Their teeth are biting but I'm keeping em' away You lost a fight but your deserving of a praiseful eulogy I've been chasing a shadow against the current On troubled water I'm trying to stay above it An adversary I've been trying to overcome My whole life my whole life And I'm on my own. Hundreds of miles from the coast I know 84 days in the heat, can I show grace in defeat? When everything's taken from me (taken from me) I'd rather death than this defeat I think I left a part of me at sea I'd rather death than this defeat I think I left a part of me at sea Into the past below the waves I hate I had to go and make your grave I've been chasing a shadow against the current On troubled water I'm trying to stay above it An adversary I've been trying to overcome My whole life my whole life And I'm on my own. Hundreds of miles from the coast I know 84 days in the heat, can I show grace in defeat? When everything's taken from me (taken from me) I'd rather death than this defeat I left a part of me at sea
