Nap Eyes - Lion in Chains Lyrics

When I think thoughts about my home town
I sometimes feel like I'll never get back
On the brink, a shadow covers over
Whatever future I thought that I could have

At the sink I wait for the cold water
I burned myself here one too many times
At the they've turned off the hot water heater
From the month of June right through until July

A lion in chains above them
A lion in chains above them
A lion in chains above them
A lion in chains

Passing slowly the hours of my discontent
I felt a new craze welling up behind my eyes
In a flood of tears I gave myself to the heavens
Where once a fire of anxious feelings
Forced me not to cry

A lion in chains above me
A lion in chains above me
A lion in chains above me
A lion in chains
Through my window and down across my sight lines
To the river where the evening thrush resides
Along the water winding through woods and open fields
My imagination

A lion in chains above him
A lion in chains above him
A lion in chains above him
With a lion in chains

Sleeping at the crest of a titanic crashing wave
I felt a strange dream of jealousy and the know it all crown
I wandered blindly through the field
I wandered blindly and alone
But could not find another one for my protector and my guide
