The Black Dog

The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it

But makes little difference if you just can’t do it
The neighbor’s cats will pee on it
The sun will scorch it gray

The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it
But makes no difference if you can’t do it
So why bother: when colorblind, in your mind, it’s gray anyway

Which came first the chicken or the egg
Does it really matter
Doеs it really matter
The shattеred shells are just as sharp

The sun’s not helping it just hurts your eyes
Your body bound in lead
Your body bound in lead
”tragic demise” rhymes with ”paradise”

The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it
No difference if you just can’t do it
The neighbor’s cats will pee on it
The sun will scorch it gray

The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is always greener where you water it
But makes little difference if you don’t have the strength to do it
So why bother: when colorblind, in your mind, it’s gray anyway

Life kicks you harder and harder when you’re down
No wonder, no wonder you just wanna drown

Warm advice can feel cold as ice in the ears with fear's devious filters
A loved one’s smile, supposed to suffice in rolling the dice but it’s far from enough as a tilter

The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it
But makes no difference if you can’t do it
The neighbor’s cats will pee on it
The sun will scorch it gray

The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it

But makes little difference if you don’t have the strength to do it
If you could only come and water it for me
There’s a chance that I would one day see
Get my vision back
