lyrics

Black dog's eyes in the
darkness sparkling; the
only sentry over you at
this frigid hour. The
outskirts of town breathe
mist that would fondle your skin. What
a perfect place to
dump this dead weight, this
husk of a vessel that you've dragged
by hand in that tarp bag. Your
cross everyday. You
folded to rage. How
strange of love to draw us to our prey.

Now do your hands bleed from the
ho and the heave? Loved
ones wrapped up sure are heavy for
what they are worth in
kindness and perks. Did it
all come off to you as a curse? Was
it not enough, or all just too much to
keep those huffed eyes of yours shut?
Result: total distrust. In
your face I see no
guilt, just relief. This
bestial self remedy; the
lid that trapped the steam
unveiled unleashed what boiled beneath.

And still you place the blame
upon the victim.
Now your world risks the trade
for your new secret.

Those gauging words said when you
charged head to head could
only be resolved in the riverbed. It's
time to breathe out and
turn back around, follow
backward footsteps in soft ground and
trudge back to see reality
unchanged yet vicariously
brand-new, unclean.
And now that you're back, how
do you react when your
last night's whereabouts come under attack?
Keep plain, don't crack,
stay the trembling arm that hides the axe.

And still you place the blame
upon that sunken carcass.
Now your world risks the trade
for your new secret.

The sun's in ascent
now you've breached the barrier.
Is there a limit
living on the run as a harrier?
The sun's in ascent
now you've breached the barrier.
Carve a bloody trauma
in that black dog's eyes.
