Black Dog Panting by School Is Cool Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna hear about it
Don't wanna think about it
I wanna shrug it off
I wanna make light of it
Let it fall between the cracks
I wanna laugh about it
When years have passed

[Verse 2]
Saw a black dog panting
By the house tonight
Red tongue lolling
Eyes all white
I can't turn a corner
Just can't let my guard down
Can't even close my eyes
Without it being there
[Verse 3]
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna hear about it
Not even think about it
Just wanna shrug it off
And I know deep down that
I haven't changed at all
But I'm slowly getting better
At covering up

[Interlude]

[Hook]
Underneath a flimsy pavement
We buried smiling, a raging bog
We were cocky, young and callous
I guess we had nothing else to do
And all the while it lay in waiting and
Took on the form of a charcoal dog
