Dog On A Leash

(album: Burn The Ships - 2017)

Twisted up like a cigarette
I let you smoke me down
When the flame hit the filter
You threw me to the ground
When I reach out for water
You let the well run dry
I swear I saw you crack a smile
As I shriveled up and died

I won't be your dog on a leash
I'm not here for your sweet release
I won't be there every time you call
No more
I've bled all that can bleed

You speak the words I wanna hear
Sweet nothings full of lies
I could never stay away
I'm a junkie for your time
Your hungry eyes upon me
Like a monster in the night
Are you gonna feed me before you eat me alive

I won't be your dog on a leash
I'm not here for your sweet release
I won't be there every time you call
No more
I've bled all that can bleed
