I'm 24 foot into life's little hole, an If I dig a little more I can steal some gold. She said There's nothing down here but bones an black souls, they creep around me to the beat of drowned dogs.
my father has this disease, you see he works 9-5 in a busy city,
just to come home at night, void of Joie de vivre,
those coast to coast dreams, they sleep at my feet.
All along, you swore to go, and set sail away,
Drowned dogs, fall in love, before they break,
drink stops the fever of dreaming alone, but I held the fevers wings and it swallowed me whole, took me to a world that i've never known, sliding my way through the sheep and the goats.
but only false teeth keep cackling on, with tales of burnt trees and what I've done wrong, it's haunting to see something weak get so strong, and I truly believe you don't know what you got til it's gone.
