Rat - Wise Blood

I had a dog but he died

kissed the wire and friend

didnt even have time to take his body outside

Whole army circled up started having a feast

didn’t waste a single bit from his head to his feat

and I can cry all I want but it wont matter much,

at the end of the day I know the Rat King is boss

I can hear him the wall always cracking his whip

He’s got a little eye patch and an iron fist

If you really piss him off he’ll come looking for you

He’s got a whole group of friends twenty more than I knew

and I can argue all I want but it won’t matter much

at the end of the day I know the Rat King is boss

Nice days I spend days far away

I run the risk of getting stormed if I show my face

had this crazy idea we could strike up a truce

but I don’t have any leverage so it’s really no use

and I can cry all I want but it won’t matter much

at the end of the day I know the Rat King is boss

all the traps I set just ended up in my bed

with a gallon of blood and a dead cats head

I’ve been keeping it cool but it’s been getting to me

I’ve got these vivid nightmares every time that I sleep

and I can argue all I want but it won’t matter much

at the end of the day I know the Rat King is boss

One day soon I’m gonna run out of room

I’m gonna buy a new dog and he’ll smell like perfume

but until that time

I will be stuck right here

living half my life

swallowed up by this fear

and I can cry all I want but it don’t matter much at the end of the day I know

the Rat King is boss

The battle lines have been drawn

They’ll be caught in con?

Now it’s just me and him

and that’s what I really want

it’s time that I took stance

cause I’ve been under attack

I’m going in for the kill

I’m not sure that I’ll be back
