Here There Are Lions by This Glass Embrace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There is something in the dark, behind the glass
Beneath the window’s pale reflection of your face, it’s drawing back
Someone is crawling where the floorboards meet the walls
A creaking doorway sound you know you didn’t hear
Could not have heard
The truth is worse: there is reason for this fear
There is cause enough
[Chorus]
Erase the borders from our maps
Restore the missing edges, we only thought we’d found the end
There are things out there beyond where the light fades
And we were all misled as children
No, these covers will not keep us safe
[Verse 2]
There is a desperation to our questioning
They taught us how to say the word ‘why’
And we’ve never stopped repeating it
There is a horror in our bones where we can’t reach
We weren’t wrong to be afraid
We were only scared of the wrong things
There is no shelter in this place, and there can never be
[Chorus]
Erase the borders from our maps
Restore the missing edges, we only thought we’d found the end
There are things out there beyond where the light fades
And we were all misled as children
No, these covers will not keep us safe
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Erase the borders from our maps
Restore the missing edges, we only thought we’d found the end
There are things out there beyond where the light fades
And we were all misled as children
No, these covers will not keep us safe
There is something in the dark, behind the glass
Beneath the window’s pale reflection of your face, it’s drawing back
Someone is crawling where the floorboards meet the walls
A creaking doorway sound you know you didn’t hear
Could not have heard
The truth is worse: there is reason for this fear
There is cause enough
[Chorus]
Erase the borders from our maps
Restore the missing edges, we only thought we’d found the end
There are things out there beyond where the light fades
And we were all misled as children
No, these covers will not keep us safe
[Verse 2]
There is a desperation to our questioning
They taught us how to say the word ‘why’
And we’ve never stopped repeating it
There is a horror in our bones where we can’t reach
We weren’t wrong to be afraid
We were only scared of the wrong things
There is no shelter in this place, and there can never be
[Chorus]
Erase the borders from our maps
Restore the missing edges, we only thought we’d found the end
There are things out there beyond where the light fades
And we were all misled as children
No, these covers will not keep us safe
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Erase the borders from our maps
Restore the missing edges, we only thought we’d found the end
There are things out there beyond where the light fades
And we were all misled as children
No, these covers will not keep us safe
