Scrap Dogs

You can't keep on shrugging off restraint
I scream at you from high up in a tree
Where your gaze dares go disgusts me
You scrap dog of lust gluttony

"Oh fuck off," say you, down below me
Your feet up to ankles in mud
"What do you know of a woman?
What do you know of spilt blood?
I closed your door (While you slept)
I scrubbed the floor (Before the morning came)"

That's not an excuse for your wormhood
And I've spent time in darkness too
But I'll just keep looking for beauty
And hope that in it I find truth

"How do you think you got up there?
Tossing names down to where you've not been?
Why do you think I'm still waiting
Here where man can't escape from his sin?
I closed your door (While you slept)
I scrubbed the floor (Before the morning came)
When you grow too big, boy, for your tree
You'll have to come join me, and you'll see
That beauty and virtue aren't worth a penny here
And none who sees the evil has the strength to remain clear
Even you, boy...
Even you, boy.
We're just scrap dogs
And you too, boy, once you fall."

Oh just watch me, I'm coming down! (Coming down, coming down)
Catch me, I'm coming down! (Coming down, coming down)
Catch me, watch me, catch me, watch me, catch me watch me Oh!
