Dog

(album: Natural, Everyday Degradation - 2019)

"Baby my dog hasn't let me sleep in over a month", I said
"Even while I speak to you its teeth dig into my flesh
I wanna kiss you but my lips twist at the pain I'm in and
I wanna hold you but I just can't get relaxed"

For every sigh in the cold night
Exhaust rolls from the rusted pipe

'Cause I can't stand another day of barking at the teeth who bite
So I'm meeting with a stranger to buy a silver bullet
And lay to rest this pest that's tying knots inside my stomach
Here it goes

I knew that someday a shadow would go and show itself
Casting its silhouette upon the pale skin of my love
Puncturing the soft white neck
And draining out the deep blood red
It feeds at night upon the darkness in my mind

For every sigh in the cold night
Exhaust rolls from the rusted pipe

'Cause I can't stand another day of barking at the teeth who bite
So I'm meeting with a stranger to buy a silver bullet
And lay to rest this pest that's tying knots inside my stomach
Here it goes

Honey I'm sure you're wearing thin watching my eyes grow distant
I know "I love you" sounds more like a chant lately
But I still mean it
