ALLEIA - THE LIONESS Lyrics

Yeah
Let me tell it to you straight
I was fighting the wrong kind of demons
As long as I was angry
My life had some meaning
I know
I threw stones at the people I loved
When I was made of glass
Don't go
Leave me alone when I start to explode
So you don't get caught in the aftermath

I'm picking up the pieces
Of shrapnel scattered on the ground
I'm tryna stop the bleeding
Of all the bodies that I found

But I can't save them all
I can only give them flowers
Control my powers
So that nobody has to die
I don't wanna fight
Anymore
I don't wanna cry
Every night

The guilt is eating me alive
I don't wanna live to just survive
The hunt, the thrill, the need to kill
Like a lioness who must fulfil
Her role as a mother, a wife, a queen
The greatest one you've ever seen
She runs all day, chasing prey
With mouths to feed, and no time to dream

If I discover the right routine
Then will I become her?
If I work real hard like a machine
Then will I get better?
If I settle down, start a family
Then will I feel pleasure?
If I pray to God, and give charity
Then will I go to heaven?

If I do the right thing
Then will I get everything I wanted?
But if I do what I think I should do
Then I will be unwanted
(Oh what can I do?)

Such is the life
Of the lioness
She won't survive
If she can't handle the stress
In this mess of a jungle
She could get killed if she stumbles

In her role as a mother, a wife, a queen
She's as beautiful as she is mean
If I recover, and leave the green
Then I'll become her
Her
Her
