K9 Town

Can't you see?
There's no way that i could ever leave
Small town procrastination holds me here
In K9 town

Suddenly,
People staring they won't let me be
Small world anticipation blocks the fear
Of K9 town

Unwanted! Disillusionment beckons
Tall shadows in the dark
They try to fight the spark
In K9 town

All alone,
Courage is dying and my fears have grown
Inside i'm crying i'm not made of stone
Like K9 town

Serpents tongue,
Leaves me weeping, keeps me on the run
For what i'm seeking yet i'm never done
with K9 town

Forgotten! Mad illusions will reckon
I'm trapped somewhere inside
There's no way left to hide
In K9 town

You said you'd stay,
You'd help me to face the grey
Together we'd walk into the light
Together we'd fight, Yeah
Well you said you'd stay, Oh Yeah
But you ran away
Now i'm on my own
I'm fighting alone
These creatures unknown

A howling moon,
Comes to haunt me but it comes too soon
It tries to taunt me laughing through the gloom
Of K9 town

Ghostly smile,
Comes to greet me, make me stay awhile
The welcomes fleeting as i face the trial
Of K9 town

Rejection! Feeds delusions aggression
These nightmares melt away
As night turns into day
In K9 town

You said you'd stay,
You'd help me to face the grey
Together we'd walk into the light
Together we'd fight, Yeah
Well you said you'd stay, Oh Yeah
But you ran away
Now i'm on my own
I'm fighting alone
These creatures unknown
My nightmares have grown
In K9 Town

This song I co-wrote with my ex boyfriend - he basically had already written the backing track and I put a melody and lyrics over the top. He had named the backing track K9 Town which sounded interesting to me so i ran with it - kind of wanted it to have a 'thriller' vibe to it. It just had 2 verses and 2 chorus' to begin with and gradually i added the 3rd verse and chorus and the alternate 'chorus/bridge' section.
