I am a little dog
Laying in the sun
I think that once I bit too hard
And out came my gums
I wag my thin tail behind me
I know that pretty soon they’ll find me
But if the sun above does blind me
The cliffs of your hands will guide me
I am a rainbow
Chasing through the clouds
If you want to make my ends meet
Take a look around
I do a bit more than I’m told
But never does that earn a scold
Cuz from your lips are words that are cold
Speaking a story never once told

And I’ll swat you with my fist cuz you’ve made me
Nothin but upset
And if I get kinda pissed it’s cuz these
People are all sick
I bet you know that I’ll miss because my
Limbs are growing limp
I’m sorry if my skyscraper fell I’m
Not a very good architect
I wish I could say I’m in love but I don’t
Think it works like that
A buncha grownups doin grown up stuff and
Leavin me behind to set
Life is slow going some days but it’s
No reason to cry
But no matter in the fires here you won’t have
Time to wonder why

I’m sorry

Sometimes I’m sorry but it’s not an apology
It’s like the pressure is beating through my head
And if I get screwed and tipped on the back of my
Shell I’ll sit and I’ll know I’m left for dead
I saw someone waiting by the entrance
For a lady who would surely never show
“I hope you don’t waste your time out in the rain”
He said he liked watching all the water flow

You grew up in the blink of an eye
Minds collecting dust and growing older
But there’s a lack of color you can’t deny
The warmth in your cheeks has grown colder
Sometimes you’ll make a sound that you like
Tongue’s twisted like a rollercoaster
When I heard it from you I thought you lied
Because it makes no sense to love one another
Do you want to hear what I say?
What I think of, when I think of it?
I guess in my room I will lay.
“Trust me now, and you won’t get bit.”
Mama, mama,
Won’t you hold me tight?
Till I’m old enough to fight
Till I’m old enough to bite?

I wanted to do a couple things
I probably shouldn’t tell you
I started to feel better
When I saw your face but how could I show you?
To know better is a big deal
To make right and wrong seem real
It’s a boat
Sailing through the snow
You could never make it work, you know
And if you saw me
Would you hate it?
The way I wanted to hate it, too?

How It Goes

You’re like a little doggie
Come and make me happy
But I cant do this anymore
And I won’t tell nobody
I can let you pull away
I know I won’t see you another day
So all in, she goes headfirst
And hits the concrete with a scary burst
(If you feel bad, it’s not my fault)
Trudging home alone in the dark
Eyes in trees and throaty barks
I hope I left you feeling scared
I hope you know I shouldn’t have cared
If you feel bad it’s not my fault
If you feel bad it’s not my fault
If you feel bad it’s not my fault
If you feel bad it’s not my fault
If you feel bad it’s not my fault
If you feel bad it’s not my fault
If you feel bad it’s not my fault
If you feel bad it’s not my fault
If you feel bad it’s not my fault

She was falling down the kitchen stairs
Looked into my eyes as she bled out her ears
Said “I’m sorry, but I just want you to know
I don’t think that I can ever let you go”
And then I fell asleep with all the lights on
When I woke up again I was sitting on your lawn
And you smiled in a form that looked demonic
But it was good to know that nothing crushed your spirit
The pets are acting weird now that you’re not around
I gave them all the love I know you would have
I wanted to just look into their eyes
I think they knew, but it just took them by surprise
I look at my hands and think that it’s no wonder
I live like this with blood on every counter
But if I ever wanted to get rid of the reek
I’d put a railing on my stairs and play hide and seek

She’s sleeping with a rifle under her pillow
She doesn’t know who’s gonna come out the woods
She’s sleeping with a rifle under her pillow
She doesn’t know who’s gonna come out the woods
He’ll be dead before you know it
There wasn’t anything that you could have said
He’ll be dead before you know it
There wasn’t anything that you could have said

The Wait

I’m waitin’
Been waiting all day. I spend my whole life waiting
I’m wasting away
I keep checking for you ‘round every corner
And I think I’m just as scared as before.
I’m waiting, been waitin all day. I spend my whole life waitin
I’m wasting away

I’m sittin
Somewhere quiet
I’m hopin
That someone’s diet
Will grow hungry enough for me
That I won’t have to be
And when a genius says the going gets rough
You know ya don’t have a choice but to give up
You don’t have to wish so hard
Save your money for the trail ahead

Met a magic man
Said he could make me strong
With some funky crystal but
I played along
I take my coffee black so that
I can seem tough
Look where that got me, picked up by
The back of my scruff
Little girl wanted to sell lemonade for
50 cents a cup
But nobody could be bothered to buy it
Because they’re a buncha fucks
I wanted to date a Girl Scout but I promise u I’m not that gay
The only girl I ever loved won’t see me any day
I wanted to date a Girl Scout but mommy said it’s not god’s way
The only girl I ever loved won’t see me any day
But it’s okay
But it’s okay
But it’s okay with me.

Would you quit it with the funny stuff?
I don’t get mad quite like this, but I’ve had enough
I see you looking at us through the trees and I don’t think that you oughta
If you wanted to tell me what you want, maybe I’d give u what u wanted
Went by the graveyard the other day cuz it was close and cost effective
And I saw myself some things I can’t take back, so if I croak
Take me somewhere different
Your hair is falling right out your braids and I wonder if there’s a hurry
When I catch your eye I feel the fall and now I’m falling while I’m sleeping
