Lyrics
There?s a black dog that lives in me
That will no longer let me be
In my heart there?s a splinter and
All through the night I wish I were sleeping
I am a candle burnt at both ends
I?m in the flame that?s licking my heels
Your words cut in the place that I always bleed
In the part that discerns just what I believe
I lie in the bed that I have made
Shake the night through on the edge of a blade
I am cut in the part that discerns between
the way things are and the way that they should be
