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 [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I'm coming a cropper, I'm properly gone 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 trauma 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 gone, ah-ah I tried what I could and I fail every time, ah-ah I'm coming a cropper, I'm properly done
