lyrics

When the light clears, they'll be there
Grinning like your conscience
sick school principle nonsense
Its enough to make your palms wince
to know that they are watching constantly
Pretending to be the sun after it leaves
I'm afraid of the dark
for I have seen the dark
And the light can never again really fool me

When the Street clears, they'll be there
slobbering blood
slaughtering doves
knuckles turning white around a throttled love
clinking a bottle of sparking cider
stolen from the lips of the folks on the night bus
I don't trust a man
unless I can see all three of his hands
and I can't for the life of me imagine why dogs still like us

But dogs still like us, right? How bad can we be?
I for one trust their opinion completely
The highschool spent twelve thousand dollars on an automated sign that displays the time
but dogs still like us
sixteen hundred early angels were born this month in Palestine
but dogs still like us
Some folks clip their pitbulls ears so they're aggressive and fight with other canines
but they still like them
their dogs still like em

When the day clears I'll be there
in that hall of mirrors
I keep between my ears
defending myself in front of my peers
whos hellish savage jeering bullies me
for who i'll wake up and have to be
but i'm so scared of the dark
for i have seen the dark
and I don't wanna face whats waiting in that sea

Achilles Sundown

This room is a cave and I'll die a miner's death
