Zion Goins - Den Lyrics

Last night I slept on the couch
Worst sleep I've had in a while
I can't get no rest anymore, wondering what this all has been for
What do you see when you lie down at night?
What kind of dreams hide behind those eyes?
Empty tales of fortune and fame
You'll lose your life for the sake of your name
So it goes, so it's been, another lion in the den
And oh your hands they work and they work all day
To keep the mask fashioned upon your face
And oh your heart, your heart will it always crave
Another burning building, painted with your name
What kind of truth do you believe today?
Is there one, or is it just what you say?
Crucify the one who's done wrong
Pour another drink and sing one more song
I'm playing tag in a big house of cards
One wrong move and we're all bound to fall
It'll be my fault, least that what I think
I'm drunk on pride, it's my favorite drink
So it goes, so it's been, another lion in the den
What little kings we've tricked ourselves to be
6 pounds of gold formed to the shape of me
My silver tongue is smooth soft and extra sweet
Whatever I want to hear, yeah that's what it tells me!
Hollerin'
So it goes, so it's been, another lion in the den
Save me quick save me fast
I don't know how long I'm gonna last
'Cause he's got claws, and he's got teeth
And now he's looking right at me
And when I move, he moves too
Yeah he's a killer through and through
Thick ole fur and yellow eyes
He'll try and catch me by surprise
Now I'm painted with his sin
And there's a lion in my skin
More hollerin'
