Lions Disguised As Lambs

Lions Disguised As Lambs

A Poem by Travis Prino

You're like a sleeping cat

when you wake you will be prime for another attack

you rip my throat in two

it'll break my neck when your teeth go piercing through

I'll be lying there

just a lifeless carcass with my blood staining my hair

and you'll lick it all up

acting as if you killing me was out of love


trust is just a word with no meaning

and love is such a useless feeling

and life is filled with hopeless dreaming

but death will put an end to believing

trust is just a word with no meaning

and love is such a useless feeling

and life is filled with hopeless dreaming

but death will put an end to believing


I never had a chance

you snuck up on me and I never even got a glance

you put a hole in me

and there is nothing in this world to stop it from bleeding

I'm running out of time

as you inject the poison that will steal away my life

darkness is closing in

so this is what I get for trusting you with everything


trust is just a word with no meaning

and love is such a useless feeling

and life is filled with hopeless dreaming

but death will put an end to believing

trust is just a word with no meaning

and love is such a useless feeling

and life is filled with hopeless dreaming

but death will put an end to believing


you're sitting all alone

wondering why you feel the way you feel cause I am gone

you wish you had me back

but you never knew that I was built to break on impact

I'm watching over you

taking names and keeping track while studying your every move

I'm waiting till we meet

to take you by the neck and do to you what you did to me


trust is just a word with no meaning

and love is such a useless feeling

and life is filled with hopeless dreaming

but death will put an end to believing

trust is just a word with no meaning

and love is such a useless feeling

and life is filled with hopeless dreaming

but death will put an end to believing


you can run, you can hide

you can flee for your life

but I have eternity to find you

you can run, you can hide

you can flee for your life

but I have eternity to find you


trust is just a word with no meaning

and love is such a useless feeling

and life is filled with hopeless dreaming

but death will put an end to believing

trust is just a word with no meaning

and love is such a useless feeling

and life is filled with hopeless dreaming

but death will put an end to believing


you may have killed me, I may be dead

but now the hunter becomes the hunted.
