Dreams are sweet, until they're not
Men are kind, until they aren't
Flowers bloom, until they rot, and fall apart

What you gonna do when the chips are down
Now that the chips are down?

Meanest dog you’ll ever meet -It ain’t the hound dog in the street.
He bares his teeth and tears your skin, but brother, that’s the worst of him
The dog you really got to dread is the one that howls inside your head.
It's him whose howling drives men mad and a mind to its undoing.
