"Cheetah With A Broken Leg (Demo)" lyrics

He used to run, he used to wander through the jungle
He would scoff at other creatures, had no reason to be humble
Was a number 1 until the day he tripped and stumbled
Fell about 100 meters down, his femur, well, it crumbled

And now, he barely gets around
He's tethered to the ground, unrecognizable
He hardly makes the sound he used to roar
But that's who he was before

Cheetah with a broken leg
Trying to find himself again
Isn't who he was back then
He isn't who he was back then
Cheetah with a broken heart
Creature with a dying spark
Started over at the start
Starting is the hardest part... part... part... mmm...

And as he lay there in the cool shade of the forest
He soon began to realize that there's things far more important
Then running fast, sure cunning has it's perks and promise
But there's more to life than tempo, if we're really being honest

And now, he finds his way around
Not tethered to the ground, unrecognizable
He even makes that sound he likes to roar
Just like he did before

Cheetah with a broken leg
Trying to find himself again
Isn't who he was back then
He isn't who he was back then
Cheetah with a broken heart
Creature with a dying spark
Started over at the start
Starting is the hardest part... part... part... mmm...

I look at him, can't help but see myself reflected
Used to feel I was invincible until fate interjected
60 to zero, well it only took a second
Went from standing at the pinnacle to falling off the edges
Oh, how, I feel just like him now

Cheetah with a broken leg
Trying to find himself again
Isn't who he was back then
He isn't who he was back then
Cheetah with a broken heart
Creature with a dying spark
Started over at the start
Starting is the hardest part... part... part...
