lyrics

i don't know who it's for
but i found a note in your jacket on the back of the door
it said, "i don't remember the name of the war,
but i wanted to defend her, and i came up short."

if i've never really looked at you before, i'm sorry for it
the more i try to see your smile for what it is, the more it seems to change
the light is laughing as it plays across your face,
and then it fades

my mask as a wrestler would be purple and green
if these have been the best years of my life, then that's obscene
you carried the takeout balanced on your knees
and you walked into that fake house like the girl of someone's dreams

if i could feed a piece of me to beasts, i think i'd do it
last night i made a list of what i knew and when i knew it
and it didn't look like much because there isn't much i know
and even so...

when i want to believe in demons, then i find i don't

i'm in the mood to eat something alive
what i'd really like to do is somehow never die

i think i could believe in demons if i really tried

i've never really looked at you before; i'm sorry for it
the more i try to see your smile for what it is, the more it seems to change
the light is laughing as it plays across your face,
and then it fades

No Dogs Allowed is one of those albums i knew i was going to adore the moment i started it. it's one of my all-time-favorites to this day, and it's been FOUR years since i listened to it for the first time... it kept me sane late into lockdown, and it did a great job. incredible sounds, incredible songwriting! roundestrow1et
