Lion's Share Lyrics - Smother - Wild Beasts

I find you hidden there 

A veiled creature of the deep 

Waifish as a widow 

And without sufficient sleep 

Oh, what am I supposed to think? 

Do I pull you out 

Or do I let you sink? 

I wait until you're woozy 

I lay low until you're lame 

I take you in my mouth 

Like a lion takes his game 

I love you all the more 

For every fault 

They're how I'd gotten in 

They're how I cracked the vault 

'Cause it's a terrible scare 

But that's why the dark is there 

So you don't have to see what you can't bear 

The lion's share 

Lion's share 

I took the lion's share 

Not 'cause I didn't care 

Just 'cause I knew it was there 

Oh, oh, oh, lion's share 

I took the lion's share 

Not 'cause I didn't care 

Just 'cause I knew it was there 

Boy, what you running from? 

Boy? 

Boy, what you running from? 

Boy? 

'Cause it's a terrible scare 

But that's why the dark is there 

So you don't have to see what you can't bear 

The lion's share 

Boy, what you running from? 

Boy? 

Boy, what you running from? 

Boy? 

'Cause it's a terrible scare 

But that's why the dark is there 

So you don't have to see what you can't bear 

The lion's share
