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
