lyrics

I feel the pinch of the collar
And the smell of my own fur makes me wretch
I brace myself for the rough patch
Point my calloused snout down low
And inhale
As the briars fit their fangs into my flesh
I am watchful
I am wrecked
And the questions I can’t answer keep me strange

Am I just too common simple?
Am I needy and abhorred?
Am I merely mediocre across the board?
I’d say “I’m sorry”
But that’s a lie

He said I haven’t the reverence
As he dusted down the trophies on his shelf
I made demands on his patience
Or at least, that’s how it seemed
Everytime that he made a subtle reference to his wealth
“You ain’t nothing”
“Honor’s free”
And “The people that you love ain’t money-made”

Am I just too common simple?
Am I needy and abhorred?
Am I merely mediocre across the board?
You say “That’s livin’”
But that’s a lie

And everytime I rise above a sniff, they snap the chain
They disalign my structure, ear to paw
I quicken up my pace as I withdraw
‘Cuz I’ve still got blood to lose, so why complain?

Whoa-oh-oh

Am I just too common simple?
Am I needy and abhorred?
Am I merely mediocre across the board?
You say you love me
