Beg Like a Human

South down the freeway
I heard you beg like a mutt
In the womb soft refinery glow
You kept your eyes shut
Dancing a waltz around a deserted lot
You watch the fires on the hill
Nothing burns them out
Nothing can keep you still
Radio speakers say you’re eating flesh again
Each sensation lies to cold synthetic skin
I know you shake each time
Another lost liar with blue electric eyes
The thing about dogs
Is that they don’t know what they’re doing
I want you to beg
Like a human
The thing about dogs
Is that they don’t know what they’re doing
I want you to beg
Like a human
Like a human
Through the falling snow
World looks pixelated and serene
And the windshield becomes
A static TV screen
I can see all of your running around
I know all the things you do
Nothing matters much
It’s all the same to you
The car is standing still in the parking space
Looking sad and lonely like an unmarked grave
You twist and shake each time
Another lost liar with dead electric eyes
The thing about dogs
Is that they don’t know what they’re doing
I want you to beg
Like a human
The thing about dogs
Is that they don’t know what they’re doing
I want you to beg
Like a human
Like a human
