Call Off the Dogs

Since I've called off the dogs
They have left her to bleed
Just a mother who is lost
Without a mouth to feed
Plastic covers the furniture
Where she ate her own
The last time I heard from her
I was screening my phone
We both hurt so much
Waiting for closure
Hush, baby, hush
It's almost over
Since she's called off the dogs
They've gone looking for a place to die
It's not the house where you lived
It's where she keeps you alive
In a plastic-covered wedding dress
Laid out on your bed
Only love lasts forever
Memories cling to the dead
We both hurt so much
Waiting for closure
Hush, baby, hush
It's almost over
