Lost Dog

I wanted to be liked by everyone

So I became known by none

I wanted to be someone better than

My father’s father and his son

Now all my ambition

Went off to find a new victim

To be something worth missing

At any time, to anyone, or anything

I’m so tired of this horrible hope

My devotion, it burned down my home

I’m searching for the lost dog

Every night since then

I’m searching for the lost dog

Again and again and again and again

I wanted to bury the hatchet

But I just grabbed the blade

And now I’ve cut my hand open

I bled for days and days and days and days

Now all my old forgiveness

Is rotting, blurring out my vision

But I just wanted to be important

At any time, to anyone, or anything

Searching for the lost dog

Every night since she got out

I’m searching for the lost dog

What are you still crying about
