Brother, I look on in disbelief

I'm impressed at the way, with ease you navigate

This room of kindly faces that shake to my core

Sister, tell me where you find the words

To keep them alive, these conversations

I'm in awe of the strength behind those steady eyes

I wait for the lion, to rip through this hide

When dragonskin tears, there's a child inside

Slice me from head to toe and be amazed by what you find

Fear makes me blind, so open my eyes

Loneliness aches, and perpetuates in kind

So won't you take out your knife, and locate my spine

I guess you could say I seek deliverance

Just one helping hand, that don't burn as soon as I touch it

There's comfort in this solitude, but it swallows me whole

Cause here's the fucking about camaraderie

It appeals from afar but at my touch it seems to crumble

Am I just getting old? I don't remember it being this hard

I wait for the lion, to rip through this hide

When dragonskin tears, there's a child inside

Slice me from head to toe and be amazed by what you find

Fear makes me blind, so open my eyes

Loneliness aches, and perpetuates in kind

So won't you take out your knife, and locate my spine

When we combine, we open skies, we could conquer hell

I wait for the lion, to rip through this hide

When dragonskin tears, there's a child inside

Slice me from head to toe and be amazed by what you find

Fear makes me blind, so open my eyes

Loneliness aches, and perpetuates in kind

So won't you take out your knife, and locate my spine
