Old Dog Old Bone

Old dog, old bone, new phrase, old cone, you're alone
Old chains, new rust, mistakes I bust

Coiled Tendrils, twisted metals, flesh splits open to rosebuds
Phantom threat in the grass asks me will I move over, blind eye for closure

Just sit in wait for your great vision to guide me
A new face, the old wizard waving kindly

Protective father, they know not what they do
Accepting fate, I will forfeit
He's got another sneaky digit in his wallet of tricks

Old dog, old bone, new phrase, old cone, you're alone
New chains, old rust, mistakes I bust
You pick apart a finger prick, no spit
New scene, old gush, familiar blush

You smell of chase, of sweat, of back-breaking poison
I see your face and it all comes back into view
Familiar blush, the flames lick similar torches
A second chance, to set him back on his way

Protective father, will this please you?
I'm an old dog doing similar tricks
he's a young chain of self affliction
And at one point, so was I

Now you're safe for the picking
No bond is stronger than the wounds you're licking
I feel the rush of a father's pride
Planted feet and a soul inside

Go before the rain picks up I beg you
Westward threats the cloud begets the sky
Leave and take your selfish body with you
Leave me here to die!
Son you're safe, I'm only asking kindly
You go now I've got no one love!

Old dog, old bone, new phrase, old cone. You're alone
New chains, old rust, mistakes I bust
You pick apart a finger prick, no spit
New scene, old gush, familiar blush
