lyrics

The dog is in a state of savagery
It salivates all over me
It answers solely to the moon and only barks at men
I won’t complain, it’s not who I am
I could explain but you’d never understand
See, this is a dog thing, it’s something between us dogs
All the biting, all the barking, all the howling

This is a primeval abyss
You’re on the one side of the peacefulness
You’re on the one side of the genocidal mess
This is a primeval abyss
And I’m on the right side of this

I’m Abraham self-harming again
Deliberate self-mutilation
In sacrifice and cowardice and humiliation
I’m made in the broken image of a god
My paws will never heal from the scars

I’m in a primeval abyss
You’re on the one side of the genocidal mess
You’re on the one side of the recklessness
I’m on the right side of this
This is a primeval abyss

All the girls in Eden
Those heavenly celestial beings
Drop dead out of this world divine
I’ve never found a way around
Having to drag you along
Dead with me
All the way home

Now the dogs are feral, out of hand
Yelling, but I’m only looking mad
It’s paying attention to something but not to my command
I won’t complain, it’s not who I am
I could explain but you’d never understand
See, this is a dog thing, it’s something between us dogs
All the chasing, all the biting, all the killing
