Hounds

I sit and I wait

Like a loyal dog, I'd be here anyway

My words excavate

Age old feelings, boring, fleeting, all the same

Shadowed whispers shake the ground beneath

And fall on ears who have grown numb to everything (like me!)

Don't always wanna be

Drawing lines in the street

It's getting embarrassing

Being the one to piss and moan over your dial tone

Like a loyal dog I sit

Sit and wait for this to break, to break, to break, to break

I admit I'm full of shit

Because I can't wait for this to fall

So I can sing out its mistakes

So inadequate

That our story stopped and stalled, start it again

I'll extend my hand

Once these tears have shed and when I fully understand

The value of an ear that is open

Drowning my inhibitions

In a broken bottle rather than my friends

Like a loyal dog I sit

Sit and wait for this to break, to break, to break, to break

I admit I'm full of shit

Because I can't wait for this to fall

So I can sing out it's mistakes

Yeah!

I just can't escape

All these weathered words

They tend to complicate

Violent winds shape my vocabulary

To celebrate a bastards embrace

Like a loyal dog I sit

Sit and wait for this to break, to break, to break, to break

I admit I'm full of shit

Because I can't wait for this to fall

So I can sing out it's mistakes
