Keep the Dogs at Bay Lyrics

When it all comes down
What will be the cost?
Cold heart ground is refuge for the lost
Feed the flies, stave the hunger off
Breathe their lies expel them with a cough
You never keep me safe from harm
But hurt just keeps on coming off

I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still finding reasons to believe in better days now
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still trying to figure how to keep the dogs at bay now
When the leaves turn brown and the hope is lost
Make no sound and brush emotions off
Breathe a sigh and fear that leaves you soft
Breathe a sigh and write that epitaph

You never keep me safe from harm
This hurt just keeps on coming off
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still finding reasons to believe in better days now
I'm still trying to figure it out
I'm still trying to figure how to keep the dogs at bay now
