Lion King

Suddenly the lion king was gone from the valley
And when the plebeians bowed their heads
I held mine up high


I guess I'm easy to abandon
I guess I'm easy to leave
I guess that I should be the first done grieving


I was twelve years old, playing monkey-in-the-middle
to your chicken sh***
And I hated being a part of it
When I say these scars are homegrown, I hope you know
I call you home


And if every person needs a hell
I think I've found mine
And it's served me well


He said I'm always looking at what I have not
It's not true; I appreciate every second I got
I got
I got
