Slaughter Beach Dog Forever Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jake Ewald]
The ancient slug begins to breathe
She rounds the corner past my street
My founding father paid the way
For every son to do the same thing every day
We all have needs
And mine will help me fall asleep
You in your room
I turn the blinds so we don't see ourselves this time

[Chorus: Jake Ewald]
Fall behind
Read my mind
Make your interests mine in time
(I cannot feel it anymore)

[Bridge: Jake Ewald]
(The next morning I sit in the second row from the door and watch her reflection in the window as she counts seventeen sisters on her fingers - Chelsea, Tisha, Tara, Marilyn--)

[Verse 2: Jake Ewald]
Oh Marilyn
You won't sit down
Take care of him
He needs discipline
Oh Marilyn
The drugs don't help
My Chelsea left me all-
Alone

[Chorus]
Fall behind
Read my mind
Make your interests mine in time
(I cannot feel it anymore)

[Outro: Jake Ewald]
Sleep unsure
Dresser drawer filled with XL shirts you wore
(I am your excess; your old pride)
