Lying on my side knowing of thirst Is how I'll die, chalk on my tongue Relying on the night beneath the dunes Is where I lie to block the sunTrying to ignite some sort of pa**ion From inside to overcome This feeling of desertion can't be worse Than never having anyoneSo I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my backA lion on his side was it the lying Or his pride which brought him down? Once the king of beasts but now they feast On the thoughts beneath his vacant crownTrying to decide was it the lying Or the pride which brought it down? To be alone, to be dethroned Believe me I know all about it nowSo I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my backI never told you then that I'd be easy to love Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub I wanna run to the plains further and farther away Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the sameAs my organs gave way, I swear I felt something burst It's been thirteen days and now I'm dying of thirst As for the birds of prey I pray that someone else will get here firstI am not alone, I'll be alright Just take these bones And breathe them back to lifeSo I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you Don't ever turn me looseSo I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you Don't ever turn me looseSo I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you Don't ever turn me loose, don't ever turn me loose Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back
