lyrics

the doggin’ in my brain

there’s something peaking in
prying me with pins
checking in my sin
getting ‘neath my skin
i’m feeling kinda strange
could this be insane

it’s knocking on my walls
drilling it’s peep holes
catching all my colds
my breathing’s getting old
sound sounds almost/ all the same
it won’t be well again

i think it’s filming me
i see me on the screen
i act out every scene
i’m praying on my knees
i wasn’t what i seemed
a bit part in the pain
of all this suffering

i thought i could be brave
i had to run away
escape this light (heart)of day
no truth made sense to me
some badly acted play
good actors playing vague
their lives too memorized
i’d cut them to the chase
i’d planned my great escape

it’s spying with one ear
it’s eye a convex mirror
be careful what ya got
they’re watching like a hawk
drowned out fluorescent nights
i sleep with blinking lights

my moves are not my will
he makes me take these pills
i hide them in my mouth
no chance to spit them out
they eventually dissolve
taking with him all my resolve

i hide where Uboats hide
dead living in a dream
i traipse unbroken ground
twigs snapping as i breathe
i’ll tell you what it’s like
trapped under the ice
breathing for my life

my worst fear’s being caught
being awoken from a dream
inside a buoying submarine
i sink to steal from the fire
inside the sole survivor
i alone but still alive

this diary on this scary day is one of warmth again and play i am not going to say what my feeling really is in fact it’s just a lark that i have any at all no one’s left to listen, no one ever has, my bed’s been made un-wizened so been judged to be the best, but somehow just one wrinkle in my head is always left. ... more
