lyrics

Sharp Teeth

I've got a sore throat
from screaming all these years.
Concessions & convictions;
I just pray that someone listened.

You've cuts & bruises of your own
from valiantly defending me from me;

from valiantly defending me from my sharp teeth.

Blood-stained nicotine success!
& I feel ugly all the time.
The art I spit up's dissonant.
My words are vague & undefined.

I'm spare parts.

Worries, feeble details...I'm awake.
Callous institutions;
I'm starting New Years Revolutions.
Next time, I'll finish everything
(a starting point / an ending point).

Symmetry, deliver me from my sharp teeth.

Well, I can't sit back & just give up,
even when I'm too tired to tread,
& the bluest waves do fill my lungs,
& my hat floats overhead.

I'll learn to speak & like the sound.
I'll grasp the concept of resolve,
embrace my forms, however rough,
& make a point between each sun.

Darling, you taught me to whisper & mean it.
