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
