Dog

I'm the dog in a fire

Always saying "This is fine"

The house collapsing around me

While I put on a smile

Comfortable with whatever

As long as the coffee's warm

Wisely choosing my battles

Then giving up too soon

As I burn

Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong

And it feels like I'm taking turns

Sometimes I learn, sometimes I don't

But I'm not concerned

Made a home in my failures

A fair consolation prize

I suppose in a strange way

I've had the time of my life

As I burn

Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong

And it feels like I'm taking turns

Sometimes I learn, sometimes I don't

But I'm not that concerned

All in a safe place

All in a safe place

I'm not afraid anymore

Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong

And it feels like I'm taking turns

Sometimes I learn, sometimes I don't

I'm grateful for your concern
