stray dog

Searching for a home, while it's anywhere
Digging up the pieces of a broken past
The bones of a hunger that is showing
Will express itself as wisdom for the worrying

I was lost, and now I'm found
A stray dog that just keeps running around
My emotions
Made me feel
Signs of a true love
One that could be so real
And I won't chase tails, anymore

Lost in my own lies, far too long
Losing my fangs, one by one
For what is a man, if he can't protect
The image of a self, that he wished he had
They say that love becomes a person's hell
If they first haven't learned to love themselves

We're all lost
And now I know
The past won't change no matter how fast you go
Your mistakes
They're a part of you
That you can't erase, and even if you could
You'd still be chasing tails, wouldn't you?
