Atlas & Oracle - The Finding Song Lyrics

I kissed the lion on the cheek
To try and find some physical relief
Found I was fortieth in line
They said, "Son, this usually happens all the time"

Met a man, he'd been there forty years
I asked him what on Earth could keep him here
He said he had moved up quite a way
He said, "Son, it just might happen any day-

Besides, what did I ever have to offer?
What did I ever have to lose?
From birth, I was a lamb to slaughter, so I-
Go willingly inside"

Met a man, he'd been there for a day
He said he heard his dad been out this way
The first man cried, he thought he'd found his son
But it turns out they were not the only ones

So, what did he ever have to offer?
What did he ever have to lost?
And so begins an absent father
The lie is buried deep inside

What if I stood here for a week
And found some happiness beyond belief?
Then who'd be the fool who'd drag me away?
Well, I saved him from himself, they'd probably say

So I'll stand in line here for a week
To try to find some permanent relief
And I'll kiss the lion on the cheek
But it will not bring the happiness I seek

You need love
It'll make you a better man
It'll make you another man
It'll make you a human

You need love
It'll make you a better man
You can try go without it man
It's gonna tear you apart, man

It's gonna tear you apart, man
It's gonna tear you apart, man
