Lion’s Den

I don't know how to be with myself
Colors aren't as bright as they used to be
Forget the girl they wanted me to be
And I don't know how to be okay
The audience in my head looking up at me
Pretending just for them, because they need me

I'm human and I'm falling
But you tell me, I'm flying
But it's building and I can't breathe
Wanna feel the way that I used to be

And so I go out
Get fucked up, so that
Weirdly, I can feel like a kid again
And the lights, are like magic
Nothing's wrong, twisted, traumatic
And then the morning comes and it's bad again

Dancing in the lion's den (oh-oh)
Dancing in the lion's den

And I guess we're all just trying to work it out
Trying to get back to our child self
Chasing the feeling, finding the meaning
But just continuing to corrupt ourselves

And I still remember how it all felt
The sun on my skin and ice cream will melt
And now I'm at parties, stay past 3:00 a.m.
And I'm smoking too much, just to feel it again

But I'm human and I'm falling
And you tell me, I'm flying
But it's building and I can't breathe
Wanna feel the way that I used to be

And so I go out
Get fucked up, so that
Weirdly, I can feel like a kid again
And the lights (and the lights, and the lights, and the lights), are like magic
Nothing's wrong (nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong), twisted, traumatic
And then the morning comes and it's bad again

Dancing in the lion's den (ooh-ooh)
Dancing in the lion's den

Dancing in the lion's den (nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong)
Dancing in the lion's den (nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong)
Dancing in the lion's den (nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong)
Dancing in the lion's den (nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong)
