lyrics

There is a dog that lives in me
Who'd rather be put down than tamed
Who howls at night until he's hoarse
And I am sick and I am weak


And from a noose-like leash he hangs
And wails that I am undeserving
That I have wrought all that I see
I have failed the one's that love me


There is a wolf that guards the gate
Lets naught of splendor part his gaze
Made meals of men greater than me
Who couldn't put him in his place
Or curb that cursed feral tongue
That throws itself to speak as us
Makes us hate the ones we are
Kill the ones we could become


I don't believe a word of it
But that don't change the way it sounds
A ceaseless static droning hum
That I could never quite drown out


I don't believe a word of it
But that don't change the song he sings
Clangs and bounces 'round my skull
That ancient, cold incessant ring


There is a God that lives in me
Can't find his way out of this maze
