The bar is empty

The lights were dark

I've struck out plenty

But this aching stops

Wrapped in the cloth soaked in your blood

The room is filling

Their glaring eyes

They seek the spilling

Of this soul of mine, locked in time

I bleed these rhymes

If for just one night

For me

The image of a black dog will find me

Even as I lay held in her arms

I can see it rearing its ugly head

Cold as lead hold me close my dear

The reviews are in

King Joshua collapses on stage

Wiеlding a wild and jealous way

That bright light burns bitter big hitter don’t quit

I'm singing again

10 out of 10

Trying to achiеve some kind of Zen

Just one time

For me

And the black dog, presses it's ugly face against mine

And to it’s jagged and snarling maw

I scream my reply

You've been trapped in my head for too long

And I'm cutting you out

Washing it clean

Hanging it out to dry

And then maybe I'll glue it back in and

I'll start it again

Then I will see

That I can live with this dog in me

He needs love

And I chewed up the moon and I spat out the sun

"She needs love”

And it broke my jaw and it burnt my tongue

“She needs love”

I guess that's just little damage done

With their love
