Blue Lion

I’m layin’ low, stayin’ cool, but I know that you can tell

I’m tryin’ hard to keep my cool although its hell

And my head is bent, my eyes are straight, my steps are strong

And I may not slow, or show I know…but somethin’s wrong.

I’m cool to you, but in the blue my soul’s a fire

I’m lion strong all work day long, ‘cause I can’t afford to tire

I surround myself with vivid dreams, while resisting their attraction

My heart could thrive on other things, but now they’re just distraction

I taste no food, I sleep no winks, I swallow down my doubt

But secretly, behind my eyes, I’m wonderin’ which door is out
