SLEEPING DOGS                    

 

Some days I forget how bright other days have been

Get lost inside the darkness in between

Some things I regret and I’ll never do again

Can’t erase mistakes you’ve made or what you’ve seen

 

Everywhere I go sleeping dogs that won’t stay lying

Moments of the past that won’t stay gone

Everyone I know is moving out of town or dying

But that don’t mean I don’t need to try to carry on

 

I’ve been saving up things to blame myself about

Late at night they clamor in my mind

Add more to the list but never strike ’em out

Wish I could learn to leave the past behind

 

Promise myself and pray that I’m not lying

When did it get so hard to tell

Keep falling short even though I know I’m trying

Laying good intentions down to pave this road to hell

 

So it comes to this, I always knew it would

No one can tell you what your life should mean

Can’t help but wish I had done the best I could

But morning’s one more chance for starting clean

 

Everywhere I go sleeping dogs that won’t stay lying

Moments of the past that won’t stay gone

Everyone I know is moving out of town or dying

But that don’t mean I don’t need to try to carry on

That don’t mean I don’t need to try to carry on
