Lioness tears at my heart
She wants my soul, my very whole
She wants everything
This love affair has no end
Endless tease with no release
She surely was my friend
I gave myself to this war
I was the nice kid
The one from next door
Tracks of tears, tracks of pain
Those needles deep, taste blood so sweet
Like summer walking in the rain
How can I ever forget
I'm battle scarred, I fought so hard
But she wants everything
This alley way is my home
While all around me this cancer has grown
Streets of fear, streets of shame
Consume the innocent enveloped in flames
I gave myself to this war
I was the bright kid, the one they adored
Now all is still, all is calm
The lioness sleeps, she can do me no harm
She wants my soul, my very whole
She wants everything
Lioness tears at my heart
She wants everything
