dog days
follow me down the same stale hallway
walk a while with me, we’ll wander all day
pace around room to room,
fall back in bed by high noon,
‘round here there’s only one rule…
burning days til im spun now so i’ll wait
another ring round the sun, through the fall rain
I know what I’ve gotta do, outside the walls of this room
I surrender too soon to these dog days, always
static, I’m still always
waiting until another day
I know what i’ve got to do, outside the walls of this room
but 'round here there's only one rule: its dog days, always
show me something real, give me your first take
rattle me ‘round this room, i need an earthquake
to open up and fall through
the cracks i forge in this room
I surrender too soon to these dog days always
static, I’m still always
waiting until another day
I know what i’ve got to do, outside the walls of this room
but 'round here there's only one rule: its dog days, always
somehow I’ve accumulated
too much shit for this shoebox space and
all my times spent rearranging
til the day is over
somehow I’ve accumulated
weeks, and months, and years frustrated
is there time or am i down to days
til this is over? It's over.
static, I’m still always
waiting until another day
I know what I've got to do, outside the walls of this room
but 'round here there's only one rule: its dog days, always
