Lyrics

[00:08.09] I find you hidden there a veiled creature of the deep,
[00:12.02] Waifish as a widow and without sufficient sleep,
[00:15.77] Oh what am I supposed to think?
[00:20.01] Do I pull you out or let you sink?
[00:25.50] I wait until you're woozy, I lay low until you're lame,
[00:29.37] I take you in my mouth like a lion takes his game,
[00:33.24] I love you all the more for every fault,
[00:37.11] They're how I'd gotten in, they're how I cracked the vault
[00:45.90]
[00:57.95] Cause it's a terrible scare,
[01:01.82] But that's why the dark is there,
[01:05.87] So you don't have to see what you can't bear,
[01:09.49] The lion's share
[01:14.73]
[01:25.85] Lion's share,
[01:29.09] I took the lion's share,
[01:32.71] Not cause I didn't care,
[01:36.70] Just cause I knew it was there
[01:40.89] Lion's share,
[01:44.38] I took the lion's share,
[01:48.19] Not cause I didn't care,
[01:52.18] Just cause I knew it was there
[02:02.59]
[02:03.10] Boy what you running from?... Boy?
[02:10.71] Boy what you running from?... Boy?
[02:18.01] Cause it's a terrible scare,
[02:21.63] But that's why the dark is there,
[02:25.45] So you don't have to see what you can't bear,
[02:29.19] The lion's share
[02:34.87]
[03:01.40] Boy what you running from?... Boy?
[03:09.07] Boy what you running from?... Boy?
[03:16.06] Cause it's a terrible scare,
[03:19.93] But that's why the dark is there,
[03:23.86] So you don't have to see what you can't bear,
[03:27.54] The lion's share
