Lost ft. Matt Honeycutt

The Guilty Dog
 
Lonely am I though I try to look otherwise
Laugh or smile
Disguise or rather hide
The insecurities is it i feed
You ask
why mask What the fuck is going on with me?
Why should you care
And I remember thinking to myself
God if you're up there send me down someone who gives a fuck
It's hard living, it's hard times in my mind
Doubt everything around me yet I say
I'm fine (You're not fine)
I tell myself
I'm alright (You're not right)
It's insane the things I wish that I had felt
Like the piercing sting of a fathers belt
Because tough loves still love
Love's tough, I know this much
So fuck you cause i guarantee life's harder when you got none
And yet still I try
They say the guilty dog barks first, and i've been barking til my fucking throat hurts, X2
For 20 years I've tried to escape what makes me, me
Someone listen, that is all I've ever wanted for years

Kublai Khan - The Guilty Dog (Demo)

Tear me down for something that i cannot help
this is so wrong
push me away
cause im not the same, now what the fuck is up?
minorities of America, face to face
in the melting pot, this nations a smaller place
discrimination breeds hatred and misleads rage
born the same as you, i'll die too one of these days
focus on the
color of my skin
dont give a fuck about me, judge me by what you see
fuck you bigot
i will not
feel bad for
you because
you keep your mind closed
and your heart
is frozen
despite this day in age
black or white
red or brown
you might be religious, or maybe god free
young or old
man or woman
straight edge or not
who gives a fuck
violent words, another means to retaliate against ignorance and bigotry
hopefully one day we all can see
understanding will set us free
understanding will set me free
understanding will set us free
