Keep the Dogs at Bay

When it all comes down

What will be the cost?

The cold, hard ground is refuge for the lost

Feed the flies, stave the hunger off

Breathe out lies, expel them with a cough

You'll never keep me safe from harm

The hurt just keeps on comin' on

I'm still tryin' to figure it out

I'm still findin' reasons to believe in better days, now

I'm still tryin' to figure it out

I'm still tryin' to figure how to keep the dogs at bay, now

When the leaves turn brown

And all hope is lost

Make no sound

And brush emotions off

Breed inside, a fear that leaves you soft

Breathe a sigh, and write that epitaph

You'll never keep me safe from harm

This hurt just keeps on comin' on

I'm still tryin' to figure it out

I'm still findin' reasons to believe in better days, now

I'm still tryin' to figure it out

I'm still tryin' to figure how to keep the dogs at bay, now

Keep the dogs at bay, now

I'm still tryin' to figure it out

I'm still findin' reasons to believe in better days, now

I'm still tryin' to figure it out

I'm still tryin' to figure how to keep the dogs at bay, now

I'm still tryin' to figure it out (To keep the dogs at bay, now)

To keep the dogs at bay now

I'm still tryin' to figure it out (To keep the dogs at bay, now)

To keep the dogs at bay, now
