Even the Dogs

[Verse 1]
I don’t need direction
I need someway to pause
Cast down by physical laws
No need for animal gauze
And humans are forever
'Less your temperature turns
'Less your gallbladder bursts
We can have whatever life this infers
And maybe you'd prefer to be a carpet or a pigment
Or bred for the holy Pritt Stick in your ligaments
I try so hard to reach my mangled début
My lifeform lies straight or true
I watch the angles accrue

[Chorus]
'Cos even the dogs
Even the dogs thought me
As someone perishing alone
Even the dogs were deforming
And soft palates are gore
I made mistakes
I lost an author, ooh, and then I lost a daughter's awe
I don't know how you'd affect it more
Even the dogs, the dogs
Even the dogs, even the dogs

[Verse 2]
So make me out of water
I'll be easy to swim
I am a murderous whim
I am in transform again
And everything was laid out for me right from the start
There was nothing I could ever impart
That was setting any clock over heart
And I was having breakfast with epiphanies for eyes
But burglarising every chance we rouse
Slipped through my fingers someone holy descend
With a gasp my loyalty ran with it, every certainty spent

[Chorus]
'Cos even the dogs
Even the dogs thought me
As someone perishing alone
Even the dogs were deforming
And soft palates are gore
I made mistakes
I lost an author, ooh, and then I lost a daughter's awe
I don't know how you'd affect it more
Even the dogs, the dogs
Even the dogs, even the dogs

[Bridge]
I'm coming a cropper, I'm properly done
I can feel his words
I can feel his heart swallowing me
Tried what I could and I fail every time
And I can hear the sea, I can feel the sea
Lapping at me olive-
Branches for your doubt
And I know it's causing drama like I turn on the tap and walk out
Lord, I wanna sleep tonight!

[Chorus]
'Cos even the dogs
Even the dogs thought me
As someone perishing alone
Even the dogs were deforming
And soft palates are gore
I made mistakes
I lost an author, ooh, and then I lost a daughter's awe
I don't know how you'd affect it more
Even the dogs, the dogs
Even the dogs, even the dogs

[Outro]
I’m coming a cropper I’m properly done
I tried what I could and I fail every time
I’m coming a cropper I’m properly done
