The Black Dog

I am someone who, until recent eventsYou shared your secrets withAnd your locationYou forgot to turn it offAnd so I watch as you walkInto some bar called The Black DogAnd pierce new holes in my heartYou forgot to turn it offAnd it hits meI just don't understandHow you don't miss meIn The Black DogWhen someone plays 'The Starting Line' and you jump upBut she's too young to know this songThat was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreamingOld habits die screamingI move through the world with the heartbrokenMy longings stay unspokenAnd I may never open up the way I did for youAnd all of those best laid plansYou said I needed a brave manThen proceeded to play himUntil I believed it tooAnd it kills meI just don't understandHow you don't miss meIn the showerAnd rememberHow my rain-soaked body was shakingDo you hate me?Was it hazing?For a cruel fraternity I pledgedAnd I still mean itOld habits die screamingSix weeks of breathing clean airI still miss the smokeWere you making fun of me with some esoteric joke?Now I want to sell my houseand set fire to all my clothesAnd hire a priest to come and exorcise my demonsEven if I die screamingAnd I hope you hear itAnd I hope it's shittyIn The Black DogWhen someone plays The Starting Line and you jump upBut she's too young to know this songThat was intertwined in the tragic fabric of our dreaming'Cause tail between your legs you're leavingAnd I still can't believe it'Cause old habits die screaming
