NO MORE BLACK DOGS

(Words & Music - Scott Riley)

Just lately been lettin’ things get outa hand
I’m slowly turning into someone I can’t stand
Bad habits creepin’ in and infiltrating my subconsciousness
And I’ve come to realise this is not the way to live
To put an end to it something has got to give
I’ve plumbed the murky depths for far too long in my helplessness

(Chorus) No more black dogs I’ve really had enough
You’ve had your time and I’ve been doin’ it tough
Cut you any more you’ll be the death of me
When my ship comes in…

Try not to dwell on things I can’t control
A nice idea but I need a resolve
If I’m to scale the dizzy heights on hold and savour times of joy
I grow impatient but I need the time to grow
To swim the waves of joy and beat the undertow
If I never look back never look down never fall victim to regression
Will I reap what I sow?

(Repeat chorus)

Bring out the broom forget the failures
Destroy the doom jettison the jailers
Don’t give them the room just let the pale into insignificance

(Repeat chorus)

Just you wait and see
My potential reached
There’ll be no stopping me
