[Verse]
Little lion pacing slow sharp shadows on the ground
Khaled roars but mama's gone no comfort to be found
Lost in trees that hum despair no whispers bring her name
Jungle swallows every cry this life don't play no games
[Verse 2]
Once her paw was on his mane soft warmth he'd always feel
Now the sun has lost its fire the hurt too sharp to heal
Every rustle twists his mind maybe she's come back home
But it's just the jungle laughing he knows he's all alone
[Chorus]
Khaled's dreams are burning black his heart an empty drum
Mama's voice a ghost that fades beneath the jungle hum
Run in circles misery claws digging in the ground
A little lion broken raw where no love can be found
[Verse 3]
Her scent fades from every leaf the wind won't hold her there
Branches lie with dripping lies that twist his soul so bare
Khaled's eyes like burning coals searching in the night
But dawn comes cold just the same no mother in the light
[Bridge]
Oh jungle you cruel beast for swallowing her whole
You've stolen every roar from me crushed my tiny soul
Your vines grip tight around my throat you feast on my despair
Every echo mocks me now her face is nowhere there
[Verse 4]
The moon it rises heavy low his cries it cannot take
The stars once filled with wonder now are nails his heart can't break
Still wandering the endless green his little voice grows hoarse
Each step a story written deep a tragedy of force
