Tongue dripping with disdain, I wake
And I'm rising to my feet
I've got a taste for blood and it's only yours
That's gonna do it, do it, do it for me
I'm gonna feed those lions
Watch them tear this limb from limb
You'll spend your whole life trying
To forgive yourself for what you did... uh
I'm gonna feed those lions
Watch them tear this limb from limb
You'll spend your whole life trying
To forgive yourself for what you did
Well, they don't know you like I do
You are the back of my hand
But in this light they might still be
Mistaken, taking you for a man
Well, I suggest you grow a spine
Before you lay yourself to sleep
'Cause god forbid you wake to find that you
Have sown nothing to reap
I'm gonna feed those lions
Watch them tear this limb from limb
You'll spend your whole life trying
To forgive yourself for what you did
I'm gonna feed those lions
Watch them tear this limb from limb
You'll spend your whole life trying
To forgive yourself for what you did
And when you're traveling the coast
I hope the wind is at your back
'Cause you'll be carrying my ghost
And nothing (no, nothing)
Nothing will save you from that
(You gotta)
Carry it, carry it, carry it
On your way to bury it, bury it, bury it
Carry it, carry it, carry it
Gonna have to marry it, marry it, marry it
(Oh, I'm gonna feed those lions)
Oh, I'm gonna feed those lions
Watch them tear this limb from limb
You'll spend your whole life trying
To forgive yourself for what you did
(You gotta carry it, carry it)
And those who give up (carry it)
Only get what (marry it, marry it)
They dese-e-erve (oh)
I'm gonna feed those lions (feed those lions)
Watch them tear this limb from limb (limb from limb)
You'll spend your whole life trying
To forgive yourself for what you did
And you don't even want to know how little
I have got to lose
'Cause everything ends just where it begins
And this one began with you
