Barking through the wall
Every time my phone rings
I can’t sleep at all
Looking at a box of dead things
Dead wings
On dead things
When the barking stops
Will your owner get you stuffed?
Put you on the wall
Or will your collar be enough
Of a memory
Of Henry?
When I’m in my room
And you are growling outside
I wonder, is it me
Growling on the inside?
Inner frenzy
Oh, Henry
I can be OK with two ideas
Ain’t always easy
That’s how it is
You could be OK with two ideas
There’s always both
You don’t need tears
But even you cry that’s cool
Sometimes he just barks at you
You feel it all
You’re not a fool
You’re in control
And I am too
First, we can sleep where the demons creep
Where they don’t quite know it all
Or we can leap off the mountain peak
Let the wind blow it all
First, we can sleep where the demons creep
Where they don’t quite know it all
Or we can leap off the mountain peak
Let the wind blow it all
First, we can sleep where the demons creep
Where they don’t quite know it all
Or we can leap off the mountain peak
Let the wind blow it all
First, we can sleep where the demons creep
Where they don’t quite know it all
Or we can leap off the mountain peak
Let the wind blow it all
First, we can sleep where the demons creep
Where they don’t quite know it all
