Dog Problems

The Format Dog Problems Lyrics
1.I'm Actual

Can we take the next hour
and talk about me
Talk about me, and we'll talk about me
Talk about me, and we'll only talk about me
Can we please take this hour
and talk about me
and my hatred for corporate magazines
you know they don't speak to me
The irony is they won't speak with me

I placed you on a windowsill
Cut notches up and down the door
My surprise, I woke up one morn
In our bed
In your place
Lay a note
It read:
Baby your love
it just ain't good enough
I found sunlight six hours away
You watered me down 'til I drifted abound
Somewhere far from your shade

Now I shadow my former self
Once holy,now lonely
A chest full of holes
Red wax, it paints me unclear
when the big hand strikes twelve
I disappear

and the angels are fake
They'll lie to your face
Anything to keep you away
You watered me down 'til
I drifted abound

It's time I accept the fact
that you on your back
It has buried the past


2.Time Bomb

Oh no, was it worth it?

Starting now I'm starting over
I'm gonna sleep
with the next person I meet
Starting now I'm starting over
You swore 'together forever'
Now you're telling me lies
Tell me your words have got
no concept of time

Tick tock, you're not a clock
You're a time bomb baby

Oh no, was it worth it?
Was it worth what you did to big business?
Was it worth what your friends
put up their noses?

Starting now I'm starting over
Tell the new wave kids their make-up kits
can find me where self pity gets
a breath of fresh air

Tick tock, you're not a clock
You're a time bomb baby
You set the watch
You're just in time
to wreck my life
to bring back what I left behind

Five years and you fell for a waiter
I'm sure he says he's an actor
So you're acting like
you never tried to take your life
So starting now I'm starting over
I'm throwing bottles
I'm taking showers
I'm going to sleep
Starting now I'm starting over (stop it)
Starting now I'm starting over (stop it)
To play the game
Get even
Act my age

Oh no was it worth what you
did to your wrists?
