Keep the Dogs at Bay

[Verse 1]

When it all comes down, what will be the cost?

The cold hard ground is refuge for the lost

Feed the flies, stave the hunger off

Breathe out lies, expel them with a cough

[Pre-Chorus]

You'll never keep me safe from harm

The hurt just keeps on coming on

[Chorus]

I'm still trying to figure it out

I'm still finding reasons to believe in better days now

I'm still trying to figure it out

I'm still trying to figure how to keep the dogs at bay now

[Verse 2]

When the leaves turn brown and all hope is lost

Make no sound and brush emotions off

Breathe inside a fear that leaves you soft

Breathe a sigh and write that epitaph

[Pre-Chorus]

You'll never keep me safe from harm

The hurt just keeps on coming on

[Chorus]

I'm still trying to figure it out

I'm still finding reasons to believe in better days now

I'm still trying to figure it out

I'm still trying to figure how to keep the dogs at bay now

(Keep the dogs at bay now)

I'm still trying to figure it out

I'm still finding reasons to believe in better days now

I'm still trying to figure it out

I'm still trying to figure how to keep the dogs at bay now

I'm still trying to figure it out

To keep the dogs at bay now

Keep the dogs at bay now

I'm still trying to figure it out

To keep the dogs at bay now

To keep the dogs at bay now
