Saving grace backed out and your daddy moved down south Looking for a cure or a family more pure And I cannot help but fear The destruction left behind from all those happy years Those dead dogs don't bark and the pictures do not talk now that the house is dark Help me stay awake keep my head above the waves So I can live to see the awful thing I'm bound to be I hate how much I smiled and expected only good to come out of the wild Those dead dogs don't bark and the pictures do not talk now that the house is dark Teach me how to breathe can't you see I'm struggling Explain this life to me cause I've only watched tv Hold me closer now you can tell I'm going down I can feel her there I can feel her in the air
