Lyrics:

Without hesitation
Without fear of false remorse ringing in my brain
I could celebrate myself

I've had inspiration
But the world inside has been tethered and restrained
And left waiting on a shelf

I spoke for thousands
Without their knowing
But never once from within
I found it easy to make a showing
But found it harder to really show what lies below the skin

Every second of every hour
We feed the lion or be devoured
All around us and getting louder
The call to fall from the ivory tower

All that vented anger
All those year of painting pictures in the sand
Till the tide came in so cold

And the songs we sang her
Were the words of someone cutting off his hand
So that no one might take hold

The endless babble of observation
Only deflected the stares
Of someone trying to find sensation
In someone set to explore this mind before he's asked to share

Every second of every hour
We feed the lion or be devoured
All around us and getting louder
The call to fall from the ivory tower
Every second of every hour
We feed the lion or be devoured
All around us and getting louder
The call to fall from the ivory tower
