Please, help me breathe
I can't see
eyes watering

Dog black
The creeping creeps at my feet
This silent sea cut by a heartbeat

What wreteched creature seeks
Head full of heat
Oh how this seethes in me

Let's go down
go down
go down

Down to the place
it hides
black as night

Now you're shaking like leaves
It can hear your heart beating

It's got you fooled completely
You don't see these things
All night in alleys deep

No, this thing won't sleep
Showing its teeth
These bad thoughts going to be the death of me

Bad is as bad does
I tell you all over and over again

Tell this hound to calm down
He's been hanging around
Then running out at night
