Dragon
from Last Astronaut In Space by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Through the eyes of a child
Scaling the heights
Of a yearning to crumble
Fighting the dragon in my head
Beautiful lights
Such magnificent sights
Everybody around
Is looking down from a mountain
Fighting the dragon in my head
Such futile plans
Just holding hands
And I can't understand you
See flickering lights in the tower blocks
How I wish I could live among them
From the circus to the freak
Just shut your eyes and speak
Cryptic confessional
Smoke in the box
Pandora, she warned you
To check all the locks
An evening of lessons
You get what you pay for
You get what you stay for
The mirror don't talk anymore
Don't talk anymore
So tell me again
When does the pressure relent?
And how do the rest of you
Cope with the torment?
Fighting the dragons in your heads
Fighting the dragons in your heads
Fighting the dragons in your heads
In your...
I'll take a moment
And I'll breathe a little easier
I think I finally understand it this time
Even in darkness light still blooms
Even in madness you're still you
More's the pity
It's going to catch up with you soon
Fighting the dragon in your head
Fighting the urge to stay in bed
More's the pity
It's going to catch up with you soon
Washing the spiders all away
Clearing the cobwebs every day
More's the pity
It's going to catch up with you soon
Fighting the dragon in your head
Sword in the forge and wish for death
More's the pity
It's going to catch up with you soon
