The Guilty Dog

[Intro/Verse]
Lonely am I
Though I try to look otherwise
Laugh or smile
Disguise, or rather hide
The insecurities I feed
You ask
Why mask
What is going on with me?

[Breakdown]
Fuck
Why should you care?

[Verse 2]
And I remember thinking to myself
"God if you're up there send me down
Someone who gives a fuck"
It's hard living, it's hard times in my mind
Doubt everything around me yet I say
"You're not fine"
I tell myself
"You're not right"

[Verse 3]
It's insane the things I wish that I had felt
Like the piercing sting of a father's belt
Because tough love is still love
Love's tough, I know this much
So I'll tell you right now motherfucks
Life's harder when you got none

[Breakdown]
Shit
And yet still I try

[Chorus]
They say the guilty dog barks first
And I've been barking til my fucking throat hurts
And this is it, the guilty dog barks first
And I've been barking til my throat hurts

[Outro]
For many years I've tried
To escape what makes me me
But all I wanted my whole life
Was just somebody to give a fuck
