Mr Doggy, Can We Be Friends?

(album: B-Sides & Rarities Vol.5 [2011-2016] - 2016)

Mr Doggy (Mr Doggy can we be friends?)
Can we be friends? (Mr Doggy can we be friends?)
You're just dreaming (Mr Doggy can we be friends?)
I don't know you (Mr Doggy can we be friends?)
You're just dreaming I don't know you, uh (Can we be)
You're just dreaming I don't know you, uh (Friends, Mr Doggy?)
You're just dreaming I don't know you, uh (Doggy?)
You're just dreaming I don't know you

Yo, you must be dreaming, fam
Thinking you're chill as a ceiling fan
Itty bitty blam
Finna catch them in these silly billy hands
Thinking I ain't pretty when I really am
Uh, I don't need your opinion
The city understands there's nothing worthless
Than opinions of idiots who jam
False innocence
With privilege in hand
Uttering bigoted sentences on command

But Mr Doggy
I need companionship
I feel oh so alone
I'll drown on this abandoned ship
My dreams are fading
I'm stuttering, conscious vanishing
You are most gracious, eloquent
You are most ravishing

Deprecate me, scatter pillars of my belly butterflies
They call me evil, but a blind child's got his mother's eyes
My insecurities are just my lullabies
Everybody chasing everything but wouldn't love suffice?
Corny type, and often mortified
At the thought that I won't witness the glory of mortal life
Will I still write boring stories about the time I'm 45
And ignore the plotted worrying, attorneys of my life
I never go outside so who the fuck I wear this mask for?
If rhythms are my learning then I'm yearning for a crash course
The voices question if I've learned from the last war
The devil telling me I need to turn and ask more
Why am I pathetic?
I keep crying bout my fleeting silence counting down the seconds
I keep drowning in regret and my confounded self-perception
Trying to counter any semblance of a cocky self-contentment

Mr Doggy (Mr Doggy can we be friends?)
Can we be friends? (Mr Doggy can we be friends?)
You're just dreaming (Mr Doggy can we be friends?)
I don't know you (Mr Doggy can we be friends?)
You're just dreaming I don't know you, uh (Can we be)
You're just dreaming I don't know you, uh (Friends, Mr Doggy?)
You're just dreaming I don't know you, uh (Doggy?)
You're just dreaming I don't know you

If... if you say so, Mr Doggy...
