Lion City Lyrics by Tiny Kingdoms

2015

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been staring at my grave
I've been staring at all the things I could have done
And hearing all the things I could never say
I'm afraid I'll wash away
And that whatever tide that carries me
Will bring me to colder depths or permanent grey
Despite the cellular breakdown, everything still feels in tact
And I will learn to divide, rebuild, and reconnect

[Chorus]
It's only a matter of time
Before everything falls far beneath the sea
It's only a matter of time
Before we haunt the same coasts we were craving

[Verse 2]
So don't let me sink just yet
I need to feel the atmospheric changes
I need to feel the tease of places I could never grasp
The fear of forever floods the same
Too greatly it collides and fades
And I'm always left in the wake of these constant tidal waves
We abandoned the sins of a father and secrets of a mother
We'll become new again when we're sleeping underwater

[Chorus]
It's only a matter of time
Before everything falls far beneath the sea
It's only a matter of time
Before we haunt the same coasts we were craving
But one day hope will grow in this place
One day hope will grow in this place
And when the sky calls I'll be the first to meet its embrace

[Bridge]
So show me how to live
Show me how to breathe
Show me that the best part of being alive is never knowing anything
And even when my hands shake
Even when I can't stop screaming
Please say you can hear me
Please just say you fucking hear me
Please just say
I'm afraid I'll wash away
I'm afraid I'll wash away

[Chorus]
It's only a matter of time
Before everything falls far beneath the sea
It's only a matter of time
Before we haunt the same coasts we were craving
But one day hope will grow in this place
One day hope will grow in this place
And when the sky calls I'll be the first
I'll be the first to meet its embrace
It's gonna be a long day
