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'
