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
