Lyrics Clarion - Guillemots

All the notebooks in the world
Could never hold the lives I hold
But I've got to make them real
It's like covering a bird in solid steel
All of these thoughts that I conceal
Through shyness

All the hearts in this red world
Can never hold the love I hold
But I'm throwing it away
It's like swimming in oceans made of clay
Swimming in circles 'round the bay
So blindly

Well, feed me out to the lions
My heart's a liar
Feed me out to the lions
Well, I make excuses, pass the buck
I play in the crowd but it's down on me, not luck
When the lights are on

All the dreaming clowns that are living here
They try to hide their masks through fear
But their tears, they catch on fire
And as they drop, they dance with my desire
Don't think a plane could get much higher (Can't get much higher)
Than I do

Just on imagination, just on hope
Just on the thought that you will someday have a face
Give me a meaning beyond sound
Maybe set feet on this cold ground
To find you

Well, feed me out to the lions
If I say this one more time
Feed me out to the lions
Well, I beg, I hope, I wish, I pray
But that's not gonna send me on my way
When the lights come on
