There beneath the surface Is a fire no one sees the world just swirls around her Like an undying disease She knows the best intentions Can sometimes lead to pain Dealing with the egos Of the arrogant and vain Beneath the smile she hides A wolf baring it’s teeth She walks in fields disguised Amongst all the other sheep She knows the walls she built Can’t always keep her safe But sympathy to those That get through to meet their fate Inside her lies a lion Just waiting there to fight A venomous viper Just waiting there to strike You can approach her But be careful what you say You’ll think she’ll be a victim But to her you’re all potential prey Beneath the mask is hidden A her that no one knows Behind her eyes a story Elusive like a ghost She knows what happens every time People think they know Until she frees the demon That contests how far they go Inside her lies a lion Just waiting there to fight A venomous viper Just waiting there to strike You can approach her But be careful what you say You’ll think she’ll be a victim But to her you’re all potential prey She finds strength Whenever she feels weak She finds faith when she questions her beliefs She never skips a beat She never passes blame She just makes those regret They tried to play the game Inside her lies a lion Just waiting there to fight A venomous viper Just waiting there to strike You can approach her But be careful what you say You’ll think she’ll be a victim But to her you’re all potential prey
