Mouthwash Lyrics

It tastes like cigarettes without the nicotine

Smoke in the air — no purpose

It tastes like 25 shots and a bad dream

Head back to sleep so it hurts less

it tastes like sweat-soaked bed sheets

Quarters to change out the bedspread

It tastes like hanging on a thread and it's thin

Frayed end to end — well left unsaid

There's been something lodged in the back of my throat

Constantly taste you, so I start to choke

shake in my sleep, though I woke up without it

There's been something strange, a taste in my mouth

I'll hack it up — gargle with salt

Pray it'll wash it all out, but I really doubt it

I really doubt it, I really doubt it

It tastes like wine that's on the countertop

Set out to age, but it's spoiled

It stings of bitterness and old ways

Seeds that are pulled from the soil

It somehow looks like family

Yet distant and fading from frame

It feels like walking on the asphalt at night

With the street lamps that light up your face

There's been something lodged in the back of my throat

Constantly taste you, so I start to choke

shake in my sleep, though I woke up without it

There's been something strange, a taste in my mouth

I'll hack it up — gargle with salt

Pray it'll wash it all out, but I really doubt it

I really doubt it , I really doubt it

It tastes like cigarettes without the nicotine

(Pray it'll wash it all out but I really doubt it)

It tastes like cigarettes without the nicotine

(Pray it'll wash it all out but I really doubt it)

It tastes like cigarettes without the nicotine

Pray it'll wash it all out but I really doubt it
