Old Yeller

Why should I deny this old dog of mine Always by my side Tell me is it safe to come down from this high Eyes swimming deep in gray water If I sit and wait I'm sure they'll come find me Come find me The flood is seeping through the seams I ascend to the attic Drowning the ghost by swimming in static My tainted breath in fire lungs I swear that I don't feel anything but safe So run your fingers over these hands And tell me a story I'll smile if you come close And if you try I'll listen closely But your voice it just can't reach me anymore Eyes swimming deep in gray water If I sit and wait I'm sure they'll come find me Come find me The fool is the life for me I'll be alright The echo I wanna hear Always listening I am in control I am obedient I am in control I am obedient I am in control I am obedient I am in control I am obedient
