Hounds

I sit and I wait
Like a loyal dog, I'd be here anyway
My words excavate
Age old feelings, boring, fleeting, all the same
Shadowed whispers shake the ground beneath
And fall on ears who have grown numb to everything (like me!)

Don't always wanna be
Drawing lines in the street
It's getting embarrassing
Being the one to piss and moan over your dial tone

Like a loyal dog I sit
Sit and wait for this to break, to break, to break, to break
I admit I'm full of shit
Because I can't wait for this to fall
So I can sing out its mistakes

So inadequate
That our story stopped and stalled, start it again
I'll extend my hand
Once these tears have shed and when I fully understand
The value of an ear that is open
Drowning my inhibitions
In a broken bottle rather than my friends

Like a loyal dog I sit
Sit and wait for this to break, to break, to break, to break
I admit I'm full of shit
Because I can't wait for this to fall
So I can sing out it's mistakes
Yeah!

I just can't escape
All these weathered words
They tend to complicate
Violent winds shape my vocabulary
To celebrate a bastards embrace

Like a loyal dog I sit
Sit and wait for this to break, to break, to break, to break
I admit I'm full of shit
Because I can't wait for this to fall
So I can sing out it's mistakes
