Dog

Dragging my feet like my body's on cruise control
New York is melting, I'm a mouse in a maze
Wake up, take two, I've been stuck in an endless scroll
I'm six blocks south, I guess I've been in a daze

My closest kinship with a Winnie the Pooh face-down on the sidewalk
Tell me the truth, is it all just talk, talk, talk?

Hello, self, what's going on?
I'm overwhelmed and heat-exhausted
Walking my feet like a dog on the street, and my head's in the leaves
And my mind, I've finally lost it
I wanna know, yeah

Shut down and park it on the West Side, the Hudson shines
What's one more existential mess to get through?
Spilling guts to my shadow, but she doesn't have the time
Kicking a peach pit 'til I worry it's blue

My closest kinship with a Winnie the Pooh face-down on the sidewalk
Tell me the truth, is it all just talk?

Hello, self, what's going on?
I'm overwhelmed and heat-exhausted
Walking my feet like a dog on the street, and my head's in the leaves
And my mind, I've finally lost it

I'm a dog on a leash, I'm a dog on the run
I'm chewing the meat, and I'm not having fun
I'm a dog on a leash, I'm a dog on the run

Hello, self, what's going on?
I'm overwhelmed and heat-exhausted
Walking my feet like a dog on the street, and my head's in the leaves
And my mind, I've finally lost it
I wanna know, yeah
