11. Black Dog

by @knobbyneggins815

Lyrics

Verse 1:
It must be hell
To keep your story straight.
Did you show and tell
All the ways that I got your
Body aching?

Chorus 1:
Feel it pierce your heart,
The Electric Sadness.
Acid on your tongue,
Trickling down your throat.

Verse 2:
You starved yourself,
Found it hard to swallow,
And if he ever found out,
You'd be crawling right back for that
Clawing hunger.

Chorus 2:
Taste it on your lips,
Infectious heartbreak.
Does he know that you called and
You told me you were in love with me?

Toxic and divine,
The caustic echoes
Of all the times you told yourself
You know

One day
The Black Dog
Will let you go.

The Black Dog.

Gee that’s a hard first chorus! Very other worldly feel to this! Love those insistent back keys! Kill the black dog!

whoa this was great. Sounded huge. Really clever use of reverb and delay.
