Grace VanderWaal - Lion's Den

I don't know how to be with myself
Colors aren't as bright as they used to be
Forget the girl they wanted me to be
And I don't know how to be okay
The audience in my head looking up at me
Pretending just for them, because they need me

I'm human and I'm falling
But you tell me, I'm flying
But its building and I can't breathe
Wanna feel the way that I used to be
So I go out get fucked up, so that
Really I can feel like a kid again
And the lights, all like magic
Nothing's wrong, twisted dramatic
And then the morning comes and its bad again
Dancing in the lion's den
Dancing in the lion's den

And I guess we're all just trying to work it out
Trying to get back to our child's self
Chasing the feeling, finding the meaning
But just continuing to cut ourselves
And I still remember, how it all felt
The sun on my skin and ice cream would melt
And now I'm at parties, stay past 3AM
And I'm smoking too much, just to feel it again

But I'm human and I'm falling
And you tell me, I'm flying
But its building and I can't breathe
Wanna feel the way that I used to be
And so I go out and get fucked up, so that
Really I can feel like a kid again
And the lights, all like magic
Nothing's wrong, twisted dramatic
And then the morning comes and its bad again
Dancing in the lion's den
Dancing in the lion's den
Dancing in the lion's den
Dancing in the lion's den
Dancing in the lion's den
Dancing in the lion's den
