I was blessed with bitterness.
I took the time to say "I refuse to coexist in a world attached to the bottom of your grave."
Now I'm up so high.. What's time this time around? My head is spinning, so what's your name?
A proper introduction please.
My hands are red.
My lungs are full & my eyes too.
Before we go let us ask again "Who are you?"
Whose turn to turn?
Will you make it out?
Clawing from the inside out.
Don't let me down.
Just don't let me down.
Rip this bitter taste out of my mouth.

I'm gonna write a book.
It's got all your names.
It's got all your ears so you can hear.
But all your eyes.. I'm gonna paint them green.
Now you're forced to see.
I'm wearing this suit so skin tight,
it's getting hard to breathe.
While you're waiting inside for me
I'm gonna take a ride.
I'm gonna round y'all up.
It's boring but I'm impatient.
You deserve every bit of me.
Please define "mercy"
You keep me up at night.
Staying quiet was never in my mirror.
Don't get too close to the light.
It all seems so much clearer.
Every piece of you in my dreams
Is so perfect
Every night you're smiling..keep smiling
This night I lied.
Now I
Honey, I've got a book for you to read.

I was so surprised when I saw the whole world in your eyes.
I took you home maybe thats too much.
Baby I hope you like it.
Dammit I know you'll like this.
& maybe one day we can be everything.
So pick me up,
Don’t take me home.
We’ll ride forever.
Break me up
any way you'd like.
While I hold you in
anyway I'd like.
Time never wasted.
Baby you know I love it
When you say "I love it."
The best part of me sees you coming back,
So pick me up,
Don’t take me home.
We’ll ride forever.
Break me up
any way you'd like.
While I hold you in
anyway you'd like.
So pick me up
Don't take me home
We'll ride forever
I don't want to try so hard no more.
Don't leave me right at my front door.
For the whole ride I'm slipping by.
Walk away and I will die.
While I sing..
While I scream..
While I reach.

You'll never know when I'm coming. Exit signs right above your door. Leaving right outside my window. I'm never letting go. Please pick me up. Just pick her up. I believed that if I kept pressure on the wound she might stay. Or maybe it was too cold for me to open my eyes; so let's shatter the ice.
You already knew the whole time. Sleep is a stranger in this house. It feels like letting go. Singing the same song from five years ago. I thought I'd let you know: This is you & me, This is brave, This is nothing more. This is LIONEYED!
The moment is near, the moment is here, the moment's gone if you blink, be at your rear. No time for the past, the future is now. Know it sound weird, they'll all have a cow when you put the shit I say into gear
It's instilled that Ive gotta stay lioneyed 'cause I still see liars with lying eyes. Why can't I become a lone lobo? I bee-line to feline over guitar solos
& see right through the people I didn't even wanna know though. Forlorn, stomaching my heart in a chokehold & all this time patience has been the plan, every day I remind myself who I am, became who I've become: Where I'm from and my fam. No stranger to being dumb and fucking round with the man. This is you, this is me, I'm telling you. Lioneyed, & no one'll get the best of you.
This is you & me, this is fucking brave, this is you & I, this is L I O N E Y E D.
