Over the Sound

We didn't kill the dog but we let it get away
Your new one doesn't bite and really likes to play
The metaphor grows thin
But will probably come back again
How to Manage Expectations for Dummies vol 10
I read the whole series, i'd hoped it'd be better
Any last ditch attempt needs a new environment

There's a sliver of sound within a gap downtown
Where two skylines argued as I moped around
I watched my book turn another page
As time grew harder to gauge
I tried my damnedest not to think about how you let me down
But i let myself down
I tried to throw my weight around again
And i'm missing my old friend

You said i made you feel dumb
And to step the fuck back
We didn't say a thing on the train

My bass stayed in it's case for sixty nine days
Through wednesdays and fridays and saturdays
And i made an honest effort to do everything i say
And to relinquish control and let it be okay
You don't want the things that come with the things you want
You feel gross like you're exploiting your feelings or something
So you're trying to reign in
All that's gotten out from under your skin

My world's on fire, how bout yours?
When did our hobbies become chores?
And am i toxic or just an afterthought?

And i didn't feel wrong
But i didn't feel good
And we didn't say a thing on the plane
