Lion's Share

[Verse 1] All he sees are death-masked stars The lion's world is cold and sharp All he wants is much too far So he stalks the roads of token cars He snarls at winds that mean no harm And takes the thorns in perfect form A broken ideal rides inside the tortured Lion's denim hide [Chorus] I want the lion's share Gather up the broken chairs Feed my mind unholy tests Do me in, I need to rest [Verse 2] He sleeps when nothing's in the air Eats the scraps of some that care He strains the right to overbear Secrets hidden in the liar Pauses long enough to dream Nightmares push the glowing scream His shadowed eyes show the toll Something only lions know [Chorus] I want the lion's share Gather up the broken chairs Feed my mind unholy tests Do me in, I need to rest [Verse 1] All he sees are death-masked stars The lion's world is cold and sharp All he wants is much too far So he stalks the roads of token cars He snarls at winds that mean no harm And takes the thorns in perfect form A broken ideal rides inside the tortured Lion's denim hide [Chorus] I want the lion's share Gather up the broken chairs Feed my mind unholy tests Do me in, I need to rest [Verse 2] He sleeps when nothing's in the air Eats the scraps of some that care He strains the right to overbear Secrets hidden in the liar Pauses long enough to dream Nightmares push the glowing scream His shadowed eyes show the toll Something only lions know [Chorus] I want the lion's share Gather up the broken chairs Feed my mind unholy tests Do me in, I need to rest [Outro] I need the rest
