Lions

we can be the lions among the cats
we will be forever fighting back

we were born in august
celebrate the summer and this early morning to airport lines
cheap seats and the open skies
give me foreign cities
give me late night rooftop movies
she's sad when night gets still
cigarettes by the window sill

your plans, your hands they rest on my knees
the promises we wanted to keep

know that we can both be better than that
we can be the colour beating black
we can be the lions among the cats
we will be forever fighting back

then again December
steady wait for a new disaster
the world works in wicked ways
hanging out with the whisky rays

your plans your hands they rest on my knees
the promises we wanted to keep

know that we can both be better than that
we can be the colour beating black
we can be the lions among the cats
we will be forever fighting back

we can be the colour within black

we can be the colour within black

even if you call me from your front steps
even if i'm waking to the sound
say you want to live it but you forget how

know that we can both be better than that
we can be the colour beating black
we can be the lions among the cats
we will be forever fighting back

we can be the colour within black

we can be the colour within black
