The Lion's Mouth
Dancing on the Edge: Battling Demons in The Lion's Mouth
Lyrics
Full speed ahead, cutting corners
Going at full speed, taking shortcuts
Who's got time to slow down?
There's no time for slowing down
No rest no sleep, my heart beats like a drum
Continual hustle without rest, heart racing
I'll be crossing every border
Willingness to cross any boundary
I've got pills to keep me sane
Depending on pills for mental stability
You see, my way down looks like a one way road
Life's path seems irreversible
Oooh, I'm climbing the steps of hell
Enduring severe challenges
Oooh, I slipped and down I fell
Struggling and experiencing setbacks
The lion's mouth
A critical point of danger or risk
Swallowed me whole
Facing a daunting situation or threat
I've been playing with fire
Engaging in risky behaviors knowingly
Ya, truth be told
Admitting the truth about risky behavior
The lion's mouth
Reiteration of being consumed by danger
Swallowed me whole
Being overwhelmed or consumed entirely
I am trying my best
Striving hard despite challenges
To soothe my wilted soul
Attempting to comfort a troubled soul
Pave the way for the poison
Preparing for something harmful or toxic
Don't tell me to slow down
Resisting advice to slow down
You know I won't rest 'til I'm in the ground
Refusing rest until the end
No room for consideration
No space for deliberation, driven by necessity
If you're a slave to the game
Being controlled by the demands of a situation
Only the medication will keep you sane
Reliance on medication for stability
Oooh, I slipped and down I fell
Continuing to face setbacks
The lion's mouth
Repeated reference to perilous situation
Swallowed me whole
Being consumed by danger again
I've been playing with fire
Engaging recklessly in risky behaviors
Ya, truth be told
Reaffirming the acknowledgment of risk
The lion's mouth
Continued mention of being consumed
Swallowed me whole
Complete consumption by peril
I am trying my best
Struggling to find solace despite adversity
To soothe my wilted soul
Seeking comfort for a troubled soul
The lion's mouth
Reiteration of being devoured
Swallowed me whole
Being fully consumed by danger
I've been playing with fire
Continuing risky behaviors knowingly
Ya, truth be told
Truthfully admitting engaging in danger
The lion's mouth
Once more, completely consumed by danger
Swallowed me whole
Being overtaken entirely by peril
I am trying my best
Continued effort to find peace despite turmoil
To soothe my wilted soul
Striving to comfort a troubled soul persistently
