Outside Are The Dogs

I'm not as scared as I once was

I can cross the street all by my self now

I tend to sever the space that surrounds mine

And I seem to do it all the time now

Could I have a smidgen of you faith?

A strand of hair within a jar to pledge allegiance to you

Keep your dreams hidden behind a shelf

Don't tell no-one or they'll become possessions of somebody else

Guess I'm riding free beneath this moonlight

But this romance with my self is causing me to doubt

Try hard not to step on any pavement cracks

If I was ever there I can't seem to find my way home back

And I'm chained between more than four walls

Walls of my mind and I can't find the code to crack the lock

Not sure if it's me really riding now I'm like a ghost

Ghost of some road that everyone bypasses

And I just get so scared for myself

You can't rely on me or anybody else

Outside are the dogs so who can you trust

When you're scared?

When you're running so scared

When company's like vultures and your room's like some sepulchre

You found out

It weakens your resistance if you keep questioning your existence

So what now?

Open up, open up

There's no need to shut it down

Thaw it, thaw it out

Thaw the ice that's trying to hound you down to the ground

Buses, trains and miles of sheets of rain

Another night and it's alright

A little misadventure

Caught a cab, ran out of change again

It's not that bad, I've just been had, had by myself again
