Lions Den by Kingsfoil Lyrics

My grandfather wants to die on a boat
I want to, want to live on a boat
And hang my clothes in the salty air
Learn the pull of the moon and my lovers cares and wants

Don’t want no girl that wants to make my bed
I want one that wants to mess it up instead
I will jump the white picket fence find a bimini wall to lean up against and blackout

I’ve been messed up
In the lion’s den passed out
On the floor looking for the souls of my friends

My folks they want to live inside the same house
But not with the other they want it all to themselves
I’ll keep quiet with my neutral tongue but for the first time I wished Christmas wouldn’t come

My friends they’re all
All trying to mean something
I know it ain’t much but they already mean the world to me
But I stay mute with my selfish tongue like an antelope on a survival run from time
I’ve been messed up in the lion’s den
Passed out on the floor looking for the souls of my friends
They were dancing
And they were singing
And I saw on their joy as if through a lens

I wanna shatter the shutter
I wanna shatter the shutter and join them
I wanna shatter the shutter
I wanna shatter the shutter and join them

I figured out love just not how to use it
Too much too little the middle ground has gone to shit
But I’ll still try I’m a loaded gun if my powder got wet just sit me in the sun and wait

Cuz I’ve been messed up
In the lion’s den passed out on the floor
Looking for the souls of my friends
They were dancing
And they were singing
And I saw on their joy as if through a lens

I wanna shatter the shutter
I wanna shatter the shutter and join them
(join them)
I wanna shatter the shutter
I wanna shatter the shutter and join them
I’ve been messed up
In the lion’s den passed out
On the floor looking for the souls of my friends
