Sleeping with Lions

Said you wanted to feel

Cold metal and hard steel

But it cuts in too deep

To see you doing your midnight creep

Somebody hurts you so you're hurting me

The only way it was meant to be

As the lights of neon slowly dim

I can read in flesh

Everywhere you've been

Dreaming of silence

Of the gentle rain

Sleeping with lions

In the temple of pain

Said you wanted to steal

A heart of soul and make a deal

With the danger that you feed

Don't like the monsters that you keep

Somebody hurts you so you're hurting me

The only way it was meant to be

As the lights of neon slowly dim

I can read in flesh everywhere you've been

Dreaming of silence

Of the gentle rain

Sleeping with lions

In the temple of pain.
