Stray dog
Dead end
Above the spirals of the puzzle rings
Crawling
Out of breath
Raspy barking

Dots and lines that won't connect
Urgent howls
Tears falling, "Somebody please answer!"
But there's no answer anywhere

Black markings that look like bits and pieces of fallen sadness patched up and sewn

Even so
Into the deep darkness
Howl like you're ripping your insides out if it's not enough

Lost dog
Dead end
Take the collar off
It's only an illusion
What do you want?
What is it you search?
The answer is no longer here
Even so
Into the deep darkness
If it's not enough
Howl like you're ripping your insides out from deep down within

Dots and lines that won't connect
Urgent howls
Tears falling, "Somebody please answer!"
But there's no answer anywhere

Bits and pieces of sadness that fall, hurt like I'm being choked but
In the bits and pieces of sadness that fall, white markings seem to appear

Even so
Into the deep darkness
If it's not enough
Howl like you're ripping your insides out
Stray dog
