Stray Dog

Neon moons mock my lonesome howl Shadows of skyscrapers make me growl Asphalt burns my calloused paws This steel trap's got me in its jaws Chorus: I'm a stray dog in a world of leashes Tryin' to fit where nothin' reaches Home's a ghost that haunts my dreams Nothin's real, nothin's what it seems Traded my fangs for a plastic smile Swapped my den for life on trial I'm chewin' on bones of shattered hope Drownin' in a sea of strangers, barely afloat (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: Sometimes I taste the wild on my tongue Memories of freedom, when I was young But reality bites with jagged teeth Leaving me bleedin' underneath I'm howlin' at traffic lights, prayin' for the dark My spirit's caged in this concrete park I'm wearin' a mask, but it's wearin' thin In this human pack, I'll never fit in (Repeat Chorus) Outro: Home's just a scar on my battered heart In this urban jungle, I'm fallin' apart
