Lionchild by Jake Morley Lyrics

At some stage the air just came too much bear
And I had to leave home
Tame like a lionchild who’s only known the cage
At an age, he craves the wild
I need to be alone

When I feel the waves start to break
The noise is thick, escape I'm breathing in the smoke the air
And the clothes start to tear, yeah I’m throwing off the chains
And running away to roar

There’s something you’ve gotta know
Sometimes I need to be alone
Are you strong enough to take me as I am my love

So I dive out the door
I’m fleeing from the scene
And I’m screaming but I’m silent
Like I’m having a bad dream
Heart beating, overheating
I cannot move for people
I just need to be alone

And as the hustle grows dim
I slip within the cracks between the facts and the memories
For a moment I’m roaming free amid the grass and trees
Will you stand well back, please

There’s something you’ve gotta know
Sometimes I need to be alone
Are you strong enough to take me as I am my love

But what does it mean to run away
When the thing I’m really running from is
Inside and always comes along
Like a raincloud looming near the sun
Can you give the gift of patience

I need to be alone

So I fall back to the start
I’m scrawling on an envelope
I write in liquid hope
Tail thrashing, jaws gnashing
I’m in suffocating metal
Boiling like a kettle
There’s something you’ve gotta know
Sometimes I need to be alone
Are you strong enough to take me as I am my love
