Soft Dogs - D-A-D

Out of confusion

Yeah, I risk losing

The flesh you wear so well

Lost words

Eating away with no patience

Noone mentions

Our hearts like a small machine

Giving

And finding the place where your soul is

It’s just that I know this

It’s near the wound — it’s near the pain

Listen

To the warm red water

Making me smaller

And soft as tears — soft as rain

I’m finally on my knees

The stupid pride recedes

Baby, I’m all ears.

Finally

I hear every word you’re sayin'

Baby, I’m a soft dog at your feet

Wrong turns

Maybe I ordered

But, you followed

Me straight to hell

And wild words

Like I know what I’m doing

Like I know who I’m using

I can never tell.

Changes

The kiss of life that I’m giving

I’ve been afraid for no reason

Again this feels like home

I’m finally …

Yeah, it’s nothing but spoken words

But, it’s the words that hurts

And some will never be said again.

Mistakes, we’ll quickly forget it

The one false line, I really regret it

Because the original scratch remains
