Desperation in a Dog's Eye

It’s 2:18 in the morning
Can’t sleep now my brain is roasting
Occupied with all this thinking
The Earth opens up and I’m sinking
Falling face first through a black hole
Wide awake for the freak show

It’s like seeing desperation in a dog’s eye
Neck deep in water
Feel the rip tide

Down the unpaved road of my mind
I know there’s a ghost in every mile
Almost normal in fixed light
Repeat the mantra get through this night
Nam yo ho renge ko
Nam yo ho renge ko

It’s like seeing desperation in a dog’s eye
Neck deep in water
Feel the rip tide
I’ve been here before
One or two times
I’ve got no breaking news
But please hold the line
Hold the line…

4:18 is relentless
Turn on the box view the madness
Two more hours ‘till the sunrise
So little difference in the daytime
Still I’m watching for its glow
Waving from this nights undertow

It’s like seeing desperation in a dog’s eye
Neck deep in water
Feel the rip tide
I’ve been here before
One or two times
I’ve got no breaking news
But please hold the line…

Hold the line (nam yo ho renge ko)
Hold the line (nam yo ho renge ko)
Hold the line (nam yo ho renge ko)
Hold the line (nam yo ho renge ko)
