Teeth Lyrics

My god as my raincoat

My pockets to fill

My hand's a cadaver

But my feet just won't keep still

I have loved you on empty

Combustion to touch

But love doesn't cut it

Love is cut much too much

Cut too much

Carve a bay for the broken

Things I never said

Hand out candy down there

To the living and the dead

A bluebird has my verdict

Tattooed on his wings

I forgive everyone

I forgive you for everything

Almost everything

Matter-maker

I've been waiting for her

To bury my teeth

In the alkaline earth

Call it a favor

I've been waiting for her

To sing me to sleep

Sleep to death, death to birth

I've been repenting ever since

Pulling clay from holy men

The first time that I tried on

My virtue for size

I was rags in a brazier

On fire and hysterically blind

Now that our little Nero's done

Wiping his mouth on his sleeve

And our work is done, you and me,

We can get out

We can get out

And it just gets more painful

the longer you wait,

What good is a future

When half your bones are fake?

As it just gets more painful

You trivialize the space in between

What we are and what we want them to say about us after we die

I'll still say I love you long after the research is in

I'll still say I love you long after the research is in
