Lowest Of The Low

Dogs Of February

Lowest Of The Low


This melting snow has left me empty 
It smells just like the start of almost any other year 
And the thought of blocking this out tempts me 
But I'm scared 'cause you're the object of all my deepest fears 

And when it rains, man it can rain until the dogs of February lay me flat 
And I'm spending all my time just thinking of a friend of mine 
She's been scratching grooves in her skin 
But I'm useless when it comes to shit like that 

Don't you love it when it doesn't work out quite the way it was supposed to 
Don't you hate it when it isn't quite, like the fairy tale that they told you 
And you could hide it from my sight, or drain it all away tonight 
But I really wish you wouldn't 

Must be a thousand simple reasons 
But you've got two convincing answers to every question that I ask 
Say you want something to believe in 
But don't waste your time, we both know I'm not worthy of the task 

And you can hide, safe inside, it only helps to magnify the pain 
It's time to shake the dust, shake the dust out of your eyes 
There's a notion you've been strangling that deserves to see the light of day again 

Don't you love it when it doesn't 
You can shut me out again. Or choose to disregard the pain 
But I really wish you wouldn't 

It's like I'm falling down, down, down, until screaming doesn't make any sense 
I hope that you decide to stick around, this sucks but it's my only defence 

Don't you love it when it doesn't 

A thousand reasons still remain, that you could justify again 
But I really wish you wouldn't
