Astronautalis - The Dogs are Always Faster lyrics

It's so funny it makes me sick I guess the way your brain'll think "sh** if I weren't being chased this'd be a nice place for a picnic" The tree farm planted in neats and rows, the leaves and branches smack my face I'm trying to escape I hear the braying hounds chase They're giving me a run for my money as I am moving as fast as I can And every once in a while it feels like I'm moving in slow motion again But the rest of the world is moving at twice the speed I'm trying to make sense And as the dogs are barkin' there's always guns to follow after me I guess I hear their whistles and their calls braying the dogs right on As the dogs are leading white people following with their guns under their arms And I run as fast as I can through these woods, i'm breathing now I feel my lungs explode as I move in fast forward - escape the crowd It's my chance to get up out this mess - move as fast as I can I wanna feel my lungs pump like pistons out of an engine, man My head will explode as the veins pump inside my face As I hear the dogs catch up to me as the slow motion takes place And they are moving double quick and I'm trying to move fast [???] maybe I could climb a tree and watch them all pa** I reach for the branches of the thickest tree right in my eye sight The branches all seem slippery - like they've been covered in grease all night As I try to climb and pull myself up and nothing happens It's just more wasted time as they're gaining ground on me, captain And I know this is my chance, I've got to run right now So f** a tree just run until my heart breaks down So I'm pushing through the woods, double time and quicker speed No dog can catch me as they move silent in slow motion see And I am moving twice as fast [??? b**h/pitch?] As I am trying to escape for a crime I know I didn't commit And it makes no sense but I am just gonna keep pushing on I feel my finger, legs and brains and arms slowly going numb And there's nothing gonna stand inside of my way as I try to escape No motherf**er will catch me, no, not today And then it hits me like a pile of bricks - I'm standing right now Trying to move fast and all of a sudden slow motion breaking down And it feels like my arms are made in ten pound leather suit/soup And I'm swimming under water as they're moving as fast as cars, dude And I see 'em getting close - I feel their hot breath on my neck And I reach around to try and strike 'em down to escape And all of a sudden a bite takes inside my arm again I feel the dogs teeth sink inside my tiny white skin And I know it's all over and turn as I feel the warmth of the blood Run down my skin and slowly check my form And I look up at the sky and I see the stars flicker through Inside the break, inside the pa**, inside the tree farm dude And I know I can die right here and be all content Because I gave it all, I gave my damnedest and I'm gonna straight pay for it If I go to heaven or hell or purgatory it doesn't matter to me As their teeth sink inside my skin - rip me limb from limb see I like the pain I like the d**h - give it to me now I start laughing and screaming out as they tear me apart child And there's nothing I can do so lets just bask in the glow Of the pain and impending doom and the d**h they already know And it's coming my way, bring it to me closer A white light burns over my eyes and I know it's getting close As my body starts to go cold and my brain doesn't make any sense and I'm losing all control I start to twitch and sh** and all of a sudden I get a bur in my a** I ain't going out like this - I ain't dying, cat And so I stand - walking dead, missing limbs and dripping blood f** all you ba*tards, I am escaping and taking control So I start running again - the dogs are equally surprised I see the men standing there scratching all their arms and eyes It's like I've never seen anything happen, this is the walking dead escape I am so determined I promise I'll be up on my way They never give chase the terror's what sets them Leaves them standing like cement wet feet, dragging 'em down to the bottom of the water Understand that I am leaving - not gonna go under their guns, under their ways And I'm taking control of the show so I go I go, I run, as fast as I can And just when they're outta sight I collapse And die And then I woke up
