I'm a dog with a glass half full of dirt

I'm a dog accustomed to years of hurt

I'm a dog with no chip on his shoulder

Hell, these burdens on my back are as heavy as boulders

Still as I've got older I've learnt to make the hurt invert into pleasure for better or worse

This devil of a dog feels alive

This old dog feels so free

The mongrel in me

I'm a bird being dragged through a broken cat flap

I'm a bird, broken winged, feeding a greedy fat cat

I'm a bird who used to fly so high

Hell, Icarus never even reached those heights

But I dug too deep in the dirt for a big fat worm

Will I ever learn?

The sky is not the limit it is only the genesis of dreams

I roll around through these clouds with a bird's eye view of earth

Your hope surround this ascending rebirth

And as we stare at the sun, the garden's poetry in bloom

My sins come undone for the goddess in you

I'm a chameleon, I change my colour

Pink, blue, green, red and so many others

I adapt, enwrapped in all my surroundings

Trapped in this syntax that I am bound within

I'm a T-Rex, I scare all best friends away

I'm a T-Rex, get a worse rep every day

I'm a T-Rex with a dangerous bite

Hell, these jaws are faster than the speed of light

But everything I want to hold is out of reach with these cruel small arms

I can't cradle you within these razor sharp teeth

Sanctuary for the broken hearted

Reunited with the dear departed

We ricochet across the twilight

Electricity ignites the skyline

There is light at the end of the aorta

There is hope for our sons & daughters

Cut the stars open, light bleeding

Pinch me, pinch me, I must be dreaming
