Old Dogs

Cloudy skies and little lies like a boot up on my chest
Put my bones to bed but I don’t rest
So I go downtown and stand around
And wait for something cool
“I just wanna have something to do”
And it goes on and on

Old dogs will bite
Rip out your insides
Nevermind the pain
It’s a blood exchange
When the future’s coming crazy and it shows

Getting tamed and feeling shamed
Then you carry it around
Play their game while they wait to tear you down
So I go downtown and keep running around
You know I can’t abide a lie
Just walk on by avert our eyes
And we act like nothing’s wrong

“Live like this, you’re bound to get bit”
Live like this!?!
No, no you can’t quit
Terrified you’re gonna lose it
You just keep dancing to the music

Old dogs will die
No good goodbye
Hold onto the pain
It’s a blood exchange
When the future’s coming crazy and it knows

Secret songs and little dogs
The ones that I let go
They’re not coming back I know, I know
