Sleeping Lions Lyrics

So many friends, I've not been there

I'm stuck in the mud but the grass is always greener

On the other side

It's been a minute since I've seen her

I'm racing round dulwich park on tricycle with

Aminah

Always was a dreamer

Nothing wrong with reminiscing

Oh! That spinny red chair you had in your kitchen

The joys of being younger

Fuck I really miss them

It's meant to be happy

So please don't let your eyes glisten

Climb the hill to Zion

Just to do a pile-on

The bad boys of the nursery we're playing Sleeping Lions

Yeah, Climb the hill to Zion

Just to do a pile-on

The bad boys of the nursery we're playing Sleeping Lions

First of all, I'm nowhere near as hyper

I'm a better writer

Traits change for the future to be brighter

And that weight on my shoulder it gets lighter lighter

Until I realise it never left I'm getting stronger

Life's a sonder

Outgrown so I move to another place

Another space sentiment increases on the way

The small things made who you are today

But I'm searching through my attic trying to look for better days

I find all my ps2 games

Simpsons hit and run

Remember feelings they were simple ones

Still got the mind of kid when I sit with mum

I put on a loop

I close my eyes, sit and hum

What's else was there

Bossy boots like a barister

Literally, dressed up as every single character

Doctors, Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers

I don't know how my parents coped

Cos I'd be up for ages

I never settle down unless it was sleeping lions

But even then I found it hard to stay lying

Not much has changed

I still can't catch a Lie in

What time is it Mr Wolf find out on a dandelion

Climb the hill to Zion

Just to do a pile-on

The bad boys of the nursery we're playing Sleeping Lions

Yeah, Climb the hill to Zion

Just to do a pile-on

The bad boys of the nursery we're playing Sleeping Lions

Climb the hill to Zion

Just to do a pile-on

The bad boys of the nursery we're playing Sleeping Lions

Yeah, Climb the hill to Zion

Just to do a pile-on

The bad boys of the nursery we're playing Sleeping Lions

Comfort in myself reap what I sow

I'm still a tiny little seed finding new ways to grow

I'll never know if this is this life was the right way to go

Haven't cried this much since my mum used to comb my fro

Way back, to a simpler time

I remember Christmas Chalcoft road '05

That Playmobile helicopter played with it all night

I wrote song song a little two step in time

That's when I started to rhyme

And I played with all my little toys

But now silver is the gold for the older boys

Who are turning to men

We write from different angles

Perception of the pen
