Lyrics

[Verse] Give it a name, get it out of your home Out in your backwoods, a doghouse you own Give it a name like a howling blue hound Chasing your fears, man, he's hunting you down Give it a name, get it out of your eye Come from the dockland, got your low-hangin' high Give it a name, though you call yourself saved She's deep on your bone, and it won't go away [Chorus] Slowly, all the roles we act out Become our identity And in the end, we are What we pretend to be [Verse] Give it a name, get it out of your home Out in your backwoods, a doghouse you own Give it a name like a howling blue hound Chasing your fears, man, he's hunting you down Give it a name, get it out of your eye Come from the dockland, got your low-hangin' high Give it a name, though you call yourself saved She's deep on your bone, and it won't go away [Chorus] Slowly, all the roles we act out Become our identity And in the end, we are What we pretend to be Slowly, all the roles we act out Become our identity And in the end, we are What we pretend to be [Guitar Solo] Slowly, all the roles we act out Become our identity And in the end, we are What we pretend to be [Outro] Separating self from dream Harsh reality And though it hurts, embrace the truth And, from fear, be set free
