John, I'm a Figment

from Heavy Try by passion fanfare

lyrics

you had a dog, it went insane
it slaughtered everyone in the third grade
she was the best friend you ever had
and when you were asleep she took on your mom and dad

and when you woke up in the basement
you knew they had all survived
and then they drove her to the doctor
they made you step out of the room for her to die

but it wasn't your fault
you were only trying to carry on
her noble work, it was my fault
but I am just a figment of your imagination, John

John had a dog and it was sick
his mother took it to the doctor quick
it wet the floor, they gave it meds
the dog immediately went out of its head

and when John kissed her, it went inside him
all the demons she carried around
now he's a monster, he's on TV at night
he won't rest till we're all in the ground

but it isn't his fault
he was only trying to carry on
her noble work, it was my fault
but I am just a figment of your imagination, John

remember the day you dropped acid
and then picked me up in the snow
well, it wasn't really me, it was the fiend in human shape
impersonating someone you know

since then when you've seen Amanda
you've seen someone who would want you dead
you killed the real Amanda
when a dog fell out of your head

but it wasn't your fault
you were only trying to carry on
her noble work, it was my fault
but I am just a figment of your imagination, John

There you are!
