The Joy Formidable

The Leopard And The Lung

The Joy Formidable


Hope it dries the mouth
The enemy clear
The trees pulled out
The song
That’s still within
Flattens the void that Moi began

Hate
It’s gonna overrun this town
As soon as the moon goes to nothing
Wait
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face my something

So the roots were long
Each flower a claw that reminds the man
And love still kept you there
The memory earthed for us to share

You laid the land
Laid bare
So, all I do is stare

Hate
It’s gonna overrun this town
It follows you everywhere
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face my something

You’re their fort standing
Nothing can shake your walls
One will that’s worth so many
The leopard and the lung
You’re their fort standing
Nothing can shake your walls
One will that’s worth so many
The leopard at their throats

You’re their fort standing

Hate
It’s gonna overrun this town
As soon as the moon goes to nothing
Wait
They’re always gonna run you down
It’s better to face, it’s better to face my something
