Dm
The flies in the dark with their ways
   C
Of shedding some light, now I've lost all my day
Em
I think they are very lucky
     C
With internal parts like illumined sun rays
Dm
It's so easy to get
C
Lost in the mixture
Em
When forces strike hard
              C
You wear your layers or you'll shiver
Dm
I didn't think you were
C
Struggling so long
Em
With all of the wild things
C
That we took so young
Dm
How it must have wrapped you up
    C
And left you hanging upside-down
Em
When I was too busy getting lost in
    C
The big sound, the big sound

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Now I'd trade in all I'd saved
   C
To fly to those nights and ask, "How are you lover?"
Dm
If we could have just engaged
         C
I'd have enhanced my weakness in comforting others
Dm
But the words are all jumbled and faded
              C
My heart is a nurse, but my tongue's in the blender
Dm
Now it's become something creative
  C
I know it's not much, but just let it right into your gut

[Chorus]
Em
And hold me, I've been sad for days
    Dm
The light does change its gifts, every hour's devoured
Em                                            Dm
But the same things haunt me, what's haunting you?
Em
Lately I've been seeing beings
     Dm
They look like they float at the back of my headroom
Em                                          Dm
I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you
Em
Lion in your dreams
            Dm
The lion is good for your dreams, accept the lion
Em                                                   Dm
The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too
Em
And when I get fucked up, I'll do the best
          Dm
To make myself not fucked up again, my heart and my lungs too
Em                                          Dm
Why can't I do the same for everyone I love too?
Em                 Dm
How about it'll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts
Em                 Dm
How about it'll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts
Em
Lately I've been seeing beings
Dm
They look like they float at the back of my headroom
Em                                          Dm
I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you
Em
Lion in your dreams
            Dm
The lion is good for your dreams, accept the lion
Em                                                   Dm
The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too
