Tiny Kingdoms - Lion City lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I've been staring at my grave I've been staring at all the things I could have done And hearing all the things I could never say I'm afraid I'll wash away And that whatever tide that carries me Will bring me to colder depths or permanent grey Despite the cellular breakdown, everything still feels in tact And I will learn to divide, rebuild, and reconnect [Chorus] It's only a matter of time Before everything falls far beneath the sea It's only a matter of time Before we haunt the same coasts we were craving [Verse 2] So don't let me sink just yet I need to feel the atmospheric changes I need to feel the tease of places I could never grasp The fear of forever floods the same Too greatly it collides and fades And I'm always left in the wake of these constant tidal waves We abandoned the sins of a father and secrets of a mother We'll become new again when we're sleeping underwater [Chorus] It's only a matter of time Before everything falls far beneath the sea It's only a matter of time Before we haunt the same coasts we were craving But one day hope will grow in this place One day hope will grow in this place And when the sky calls I'll be the first to meet its embrace [Bridge] So show me how to live Show me how to breathe Show me that the best part of being alive is never knowing anything And even when my hands shake Even when I can't stop screaming Please say you can hear me Please just say you f**ing hear me Please just say I'm afraid I'll wash away I'm afraid I'll wash away [Chorus] It's only a matter of time Before everything falls far beneath the sea It's only a matter of time Before we haunt the same coasts we were craving But one day hope will grow in this place One day hope will grow in this place And when the sky calls I'll be the first I'll be the first to meet its embrace It's gonna be a long day
