[Verse 1] I quit the carnival It moved next door I thought Id had enough But I want more So now Im sneakin out at night I paint my face and shine my shoes Go where Im not supposed to [Verse 2] Cause I tamed a lion once I stole his roar I stripped his pride away But he found more So now hes back to take whats his And shove my future in my face Scare me back in my place So soon, so soon Youve got it beat Til it beats you [Verse 3] I left my flaming sword Beside your bed I woke to find it pressed Against my neck You wept Suggestion never works So now Im trying something else I shut my eyes, hold on, oh well [Verse 4] I felt a feather fold A tree trunk split Inside my lion laughed Played violin He said you should give up your voice Before we both end up destroyed I quit alright, he purred, Good boy [Verse 5] Cause youll believe anything And we went and copped Youll fall for anyone And I said, Thats not exactly true Only you Ill do what you do. [Verse 6] You wake in the hospital In a thrift store suit You hear your lovers voice From the waiting room You shut your eyes and pray for peace Think Im not here, this isnt me This isnt something I would do I know the complicated truth A make up mask, a lions roar A big top tent, a fire sword But theyre not real, they never were And soon she wont be real either This is the life you went and earned Because you never fucking learn And you could waste all of your years Fixing the mess youre making here So as her nervous breath draws close Her dress heels click off their approach You clutch your chest and whisper Oh no, no what will I do? What will I do? My love, my love, oh, what will I do? Wake up Mhmh, mhmh, mhmhmhmhmhmhmh Mhmh, mhmh, mhmhmhmhmhmhmh [Outro] Oohoh, uhoh, oh, whoaohohohooh Oohoh, uhoh, oh, whoaohohohooh Nono, nono Nono, nono
mhmh, nono, mhmhmhmhmhmhmh, whoaohohohooh, oohoh
