i wanna be your dog
cuz maybe then you'll notice me
treat me nice and stay with me
hold me in high regard
i wanna be your dog
so then i'd get loved

i wanna be your dog

i close my eyes
and will away the tears
beacuse i don't want to cry
in front of you
i want to remain strong
draw strength
from the façade of strength
that i show to the world
because on the inside
my stupid pride
hurts me more than you could ever know
and i can't will that away
as easily as i can my tears
for some reason
i feel betrayed
as if i wasn't good enough
damn my pride
damn my pride
damn my pride

forget regrets
until you see with
clarity...to
kill off the negativity
delve into the mysteries
of your soul and
of your
mind...

i would follow you into oblivion
walk beside you as the world falls apart
take your pain when the scars of the past ache
dream with you like no one else can
the time will come when you will understand yourself
to see yourself as i see you
blinding, radiant...
an angel among men
a wolf among dogs
someday you will see what i see
and you will come to understand...

but looking at it from your point of view
by then I will only be a memory to you

my pixellated dream runs rampant over coaxial cables
living its accelerated life, riding the light over high bandwidth fiber optics
it infects other digital nodes with the strength of its emotional overload
my futurisitc vision is inlaid in infrared
silicon languages decipher its message
my digital dream is drawn in ones and zeroes
electrons dance to keep it flowing through the wired
broken down and distributed in packaged bits and bytes
and yet my grey matter continutes to dream
dendrites dance with electrical activity
as messages snap over synapses
flowing through the optical nerve to project onto a corneal screen
...or is the screen LCD?
