This old black dog is hounding me/It waits ‘round the corner and hides in the trees
I feel the chill of something blown in on a breeze
In the light of a cinema screen I hide/
Laughing I only feel empty inside/
Crying means nothing, I’ve nothing to say/
I wish I could kick this old black dog away/
And the worst part is knowing my part in it all/
Yeah the worst part is knowing its nothing at all
Oh if I can pull myself together I’ll try/
I can’t explain the tear that sits in my eye/
I try to outsmart him but somehow he knows/
Wherever I am, that fucking dog goes/
I’ll kill him the next time I swear I won’t fail/
I’ll kick in his ribs and I’ll rip off his tail/
And the worst part is thinking it’s something it’s not/
Yeah the worst part is thinking it might never stop/
Oh if I can pull myself together I’ll try/
I can’t explain the tear that sits in my eye/
And the worst part is trying to explain it to you/
The worst part is knowing there’s nothing to do/
Oh if I can pull myself together I’ll try/
Oh but I cant explain the tear that sits in my eye/
If I can pull myself together I’ll try/
Oh if I can’t pull myself together I’ll die
