I am good dog I know what’s behind that door

I know what its like
to be unloved and alone
to lay in the darkness
and hear oneself groan
I know what its like
to be shown the big door
by the executioner
who lays down the law

it was all in the mind
and it does break one’s heart
when nobody cares that much
and you start
the lonely walk forward
following those
who smile and then kill you
for theyre in the throes
“you’ll be alright”
they show you a needle
and turn off the light
you never wake up
you are gone from the world
out in the darkness
your spirit is hurled

the humans don’t care
they go on their way
watch TV and eat shredded wheat
and they pay
no attention to you
we are helpless, our woe
it was always ours
and we had to go

we took the can
when we offered our love
to the great and the mighty
the man from above
its not that we ever gave up on him, he
gave up on us
now where can he be

our life went down his pan
and I know how it feels
to lay all alone
be unloved it so steals
so much from one’s soul
it hurts just to be
alone in the darkness
emotionally
and hear oneself moan
its tragic but true
it gets to your soul
as one of the few
