lyrics

Lion man with a tiger's jaw
Light a fire beneath his claws
Set him free but dissolve his pride
And find a cave he can live inside

Set a fire and I'll be gone
Just leave me something to call my own
Sweep the ashes and spread the dust
Just leave me something to call my own

I admit I still dream at night
Those images I get lost inside
Tired body but restless mind
"I can't sleep, I can't sleep."
I am tethered by a thought or two in a quiet room.

I can't escape that list of things I have to accomplish
Or that listlessness after nightly disappointments
If I could rest my head and free my neck from this chokehold
Then I could break that lull and finally find my way back home

But until then, I will spread that dust again.
