[Verse 1: Lomes & Other Voice]
Like a dog tugging on a rope, I don't even know--
[Spoken]: Is that a train?
Like a dog tugging on a rope
I don't even know where I'd go if they let go
In my selfish narrow mindedness
They put up a chain-link fence
Now there's nothing I can do but bark my head off

[Verse 2: Lomes]
But we're not fucking playing
I got these teeth for a reason
I know that it's life or death, I can't forget it
I lie down and you kiss my forehead
I tell you I'm just fucking exhausted from work
I don't wanna get drunk, I don't wanna go out
It feels like survival just isn't enough, is it?

[Bridge: Lomes]
The winter passes
My jaw unclеnches
The ferns outsidе my window learn to open up

[Verse 3: Lomes]
And there are things in your life that you were made to run away from
But it's not your grief, or your pain, or any other kind of love
I let go of my hold on a happy ending, when you're backed into a corner, there's no horizon
Where I once felt despair, now I feel free
[Chorus: Lomes]
I put my trust in broken milk crates underneath the trestle by the vet's hall
A call for help in Markal
I found your mouth under the blankets this might be the last night I can taste country duets and inhalants

[Chorus: Lomes]
I put my trust in broken milk crates underneath the trestle by the vet's hall
A call for help in Markal
I found your mouth under the blankets this might be the last night I can taste country duets and inhalants

[Hook: Bo Lark, chorus continues]
No job, no place to get away from
I've been to a world worth living in
No rent, no lies to memorize
No fucked up world to drown out

[Hook: Bo Lark, chorus continues]
No job, no place to get away from
I've been to a world worth living in
No rent, no lies to memorize
No fucked up world to drown out

[Outro: Both]
No job, no place to get away from
I've been to a world worth living in
No rent, no lies to memorize
No fucked up world to drown out
