These walls are closing in
Black dog has found a new way in
By my side is where he stays
Leaves me numb as the nights roll into days
Black dog sits at my front gate
Black dog sleeps where I lay
Black dog shadowing each day
Black dog chases you away
At war with myself
Alone in my bed
It's a fight to exist in the world outside my bed
So I take my happy pills
Put on my bravest smile
That black dog he goes away for a little while
Black dog sits at my front gate
Black dog sleeps where I lay
Black dog shadowing each day
Black dog chases you away
Anchors me down
And takes all control
I didn't choose this
Black dog chose me
Black dog sits at my front gate
Black dog sleeps where I lay
Black dog shadowing each day
Black dog chases you away
