"The Guilty Dog" lyrics

"The Guilty Dog"

Lonely
Am I though I try
To look otherwise
Laugh or smile
Disguise or rather hide
The insecurities I feed
You ask
Why mask what is going on with me?
Fuck

Why should you care?

And I remember thinking to myself
God if you're up there send me down someone
Who gives a fuck

It's hard living, it's hard times
In my mind
Doubt everything around me
Yet I say
You're not fine
I tell myself
You're not right

It's insane the things I wish that I had felt
Like the piercing sting of a father's belt
Because tough love is still love
Love's tough, I know this much
I'll tell you right now motherfucks life's harder when you got none

Shit
And yet still I try

They say the guilty dog barks first
And I've been barking till my fucking throat hurts
And they say that the guilty dog barks first
And I've been barking till my throat hurts

For many years I've tried
To escape what makes me, me
But all I wanted my whole life was for someone to give a fuck
