I got a black dog at my heel
Barking at the monkey on my back
Scratching at the red flea in my ear
Living off the worms inside my head
Squirming from the torture of my soul
Screaming at the breaking of my heart
Pounding with the blood behind my eyes
Searching for a way out of this mess
Spilling from the corners of my mind
Twisting with that taste upon my tongue
Poking at the rot between my teeth
Grinding up the memory of my pain
My pain
Killing all the words out of my mouth
Washing out the names of all I lost
Looking for my way out of the maze
Trying to lose that black dog at my heel
Still I got a black dog at my heel
Barking at the monkey on my back
Scratching at the red flea in my ear
Living off the worms inside my head
