The Black Dog

[00:06.02] I am someone who until recent events

[00:10.84] You shared your secrets with

[00:14.29] And your location, you forgot to turn it off

[00:19.60] And so I watch as you walk

[00:22.52] Into some bar called The Black Dog

[00:25.44] And pierce new holes in my heart

[00:28.63] You forgot to turn it off

[00:33.21] And it hits me

[00:37.20] I just don't understand how you don't miss me

[00:44.37] In The Black Dog, when someone plays "The Starting Line"

[00:49.15] And you jump up, but she's too young to know this song

[00:53.66] That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming

[01:01.63] Old habits die screaming

[01:14.12] I move through the world with a heart broken

[01:18.37] My longing state unspoken

[01:21.56] And I may never open up the way I did for you

[01:27.40] And all of those best laid plans

[01:30.87] You said I needed a brave man

[01:34.05] Then proceeded to play him

[01:36.98] Until I believed it too

[01:41.79] And it kills me

[01:45.77] I just don't understand how you don't miss me

[01:52.73] In the shower and remember how my rain-soaked body

[01:57.50] Was shakin', do you hate me?

[02:00.69] Was it hazing for a cruel fraternity?

[02:04.21] I pledged and I still mean it

[02:10.31] Old habits die screaming

[02:17.80] Six weeks of breathin' clean air

[02:21.25] I still miss the smoke

[02:23.43] Were you makin' fun of me

[02:26.62] With some esoteric joke?

[02:29.80] Now I wanna sell my house

[02:33.25] And set fire to all my clothes

[02:36.97] And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons

[02:45.47] Even if I die screaming

[02:59.02] And I hope you hear it

[03:11.50] And I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog

[03:15.23] When someone plays "The Starting Line"

[03:18.68] And you jump up, but she's too young to know this song

[03:23.19] That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of our dreaming

[03:30.90] 'Cause tail between your legs, you're leavin'

[03:37.55] I still can't believe it

[03:43.93] 'Cause old habits die screaming
