Soft Dogs

(album: Soft Dogs - 2002)

Wrong words
Out of confusion
Yeah, I risk losing
The flesh you wear so well
Lost words
Eating away with no patience
No one mentions
Our hearts like a small machine
Giving
And finding the place where your soul is
It's just that I know this
It's near the wound, it's near the pain
Listen
To the warm red water
Making me smaller
And soft as tears, soft as rain

I'm finally on my knees
The stupid pride recedes
Baby, I'm all ears
Finally
I hear every word you're saying
Baby, I'm a soft dog at your feet

Wrong turns
Maybe I ordered
But, you followed
Me straight to hell
And wild words
Like I know what I'm doing
Like I know who I'm using
I can never tell
Changes
The kiss of life that I'm giving
I've been afraid for no reason
Again this feels like home

I'm finally on my knees
The stupid pride recedes
Baby, I'm all ears
Finally
I hear every word you're saying
Baby, I'm a soft dog at your feet

Yeah, it's nothing but spoken words
But, it's the words that hurts
And some will never be said again
Mistakes, we'll quickly forget it
The one false line, I really regret it
Because the original scratch remains
