The Day Your Dog Died Lyrics

Oh, I remember the day your dog died

The wind and rain wept through the night

Looking back it should've been my life

Between you and I, I'm tainted with lies

Oh, I remember the day your mom died

The wind and rain wept through the night

Looking back it should've been my life

I bring so much pain to everyone I find

You know the truth and so, so do I

You're not okay and I'm not alright

You know the truth and so, so do I

I'm not okay, will we be alright?

You know the truth and so, so do I

You're not okay and I'm not alright

You know the truth and so, so do I

I'm not okay, will we stay alive?

So make me the author of my fiction

Another walking contradiction

All of my veins absorbed in my pain

All of my veins controlled by my brain

The arteries inside of me

Eight colonies fighting peace

Without a victory on either side it seems

I can't lean on my knees

Giving up sleep in order to keep the hope that I need

Aiming for stars that are breaking our hearts

Letting down guards

We're working twice as hard, going half as far

Maybe not cut out to part our own cards

We all wanna remain alive and thriving

Like the ones barely present and signing

We're of a few, trying surviving

But at the end all of us are slowly dying

Oh, I remember the day your dog died

The wind and rain wept through the night
