Sun bleeds orange on the window pane
Another long day feels the same
skins too tight, a restless soul
trapped inside this human role
Heat is rising, a fevered dream
hear the wild inside, it starts to scream
yearning claws and fur
I crave who I used to be, you see
dog days, dog days, they bite and sting
The shifting struggle, the joy that it brings
But dog days, dog days, they don't last long
Soon, the moon will rise where I belong
Mirrors show a stranger's face
lost inside this lonely place
try to fit the mold, the human disguise
But the animal within shines in my eyes
dog days, dog days, they bite and sting
The shifting struggle, the joy that it brings
But dog days, dog days, they don't last long
Soon, the moon will rise where I belong
They say I'm strange, a little lost
But they don't know the inner cost
of a fighting nature day by day
Waiting for the night to light the way
dog days, dog days, they bite and sting
The shifting struggle, the joy that it brings
But dog days, dog days, they don't last long
Soon, the moon will rise where I belong
