Lioness Songtext
von Tye Newton

Lioness
I′ve been trying not to miss
The days
Precious and limited
In the night
I slumber while you hunt

Rise when you rest
Begin where you end

While the moon and the sun
Are chasing above
My body and in your mind
When you are feeling crescent
I will be gibbous
And witness
Our circadian tides


When you're by my side
In my dream
You are a mountain that I climb
And I scale
Every disk of your spine
To dig into the summit
To look inside
The back of your mind

Talking in my sleep
You were hearing everything
Replacing each terror
With a merciful reprieve
By daylight
I study your stasis

Are we living the dream?
Do we know what that means?

With the sun and the moon
Still racing through
The marrow of your mind
I′m deflecting your demons
Rechecking your pulse
As I watch
In wait
With a weather eye


And I'm by your side
As you dream
I watch your breathing fall and rise
And I log
Any dance of your eyes
For clues beyond the surface
To see inside
The back of your mind
To look inside
The back of your mind

Lioness
I'm trying not to miss
The days
Precious and limited
