Dog On A Leash

You growl, you snarl, you show your teeth,

But you back down the second it’s me.

All that talk, all those threats,

Yet you flinch when I take a step.

You stomp, you shout, try to play the beast,

But I see the leash wrapped around your feet.

All bark, no bite,

You fold like a house of lies.

You creep, you chase, but you won’t fight,

Sit, stay—good dog, that’s right.

Oh, poor little thing, still playing tough?

Still watching me like I give a fuck?

You can glare, you can walk too close,

But you’re still the joke that I love the most.

You stomp, you shout, try to play the beast,

But I see the leash wrapped around your feet.

All bark, no bite,

You fold like a house of lies.

You creep, you chase, but you won’t fight,

Sit, stay—good dog, that’s right.

I told you once, I’ll tell you twice—

When it came to me, you knew your place.

You weren’t the monster, you weren’t the king,

You were just a dog on a fucking string.

All bark, no bite,

You fold like a house of lies.

You creep, you chase, but you won’t fight,

Sit, stay—good dog, that’s right.

Go ahead, growl all you want…

You were never off the leash.
