Hey – scratching at your back door trying to get this dog a bone
Hey – sitting on your back porch tryin to work my way back home
I've been wallowing in my own filth hoping for an unmarked grave
I’ve been barking at the full moon struggling with this leash all day
Fall down and wonder if it’s ever real – fake smiles and hope you haven’t spoiled the deal
Watching from a distance wondering – where the hell you’d go?
Stand on a thin line between the new and old
Under sea warmth – but on the surface cold
You hesitated when it comes to life and love
And confiscated when it comes to push and shove
Hey – remember when you’d take me out – parade me for the neighborhood
Still you leave me in the dog house for acting like a good dog should
You’d prefer to leave it all unsaid – don’t deal well with reality
Yeah i've been there - so force a grin and blame your personality
Seems distant and cold to me
Never half what it appears to be
One mans goldcan be another mans worn out soul
I used to stand the dark – you were the pinnacle – the goal
Now your spurious – an actor with a role
Bad water rising up
Overflowing from your golden cup
I used to get nervous at the sound of chains
I used to fear being left in the wind and the pouring rain
After all this time i find that i’m the one who’s feared not the one whos left behind
When it’s not just talk – the road you'll walk is unstoppable you’ll find
Let one succeed instead of leaving two behind
Not giving up – never giving up
Still you make it tough – when you’re controlling us
Burn the backyard down
